A Shetland Jewish Childhood: with Ethel Hofman, author of ‘Mackerel at Midnight, growing up Jewish on a small Scottish island
This year SCoJeC is supporting Aberdeen Synagogue. When the builders were doing a minor repair to a chimney in the Synagogue’s Dee Street premises they found that the whole roof was full of rot and woodworm, and needed to be replaced at the cost of £45,000. The Aberdeen Community have managed to cover £30,000 of this amount, but in this very difficult time still have to raise £15,000 over the next year. We are very happy to announce a series of three talks starting on Tuesday 28th April, along with a Klezmer Kabaret later in the year, to help to raise money for this beautiful synagogue – featuring historian Professor Nathan Abrams on the history of the Aberdeen Jewish community, writer Ethel Hofman, author of ‘Mackerel at Midnight: Growing up Jewish in the Shetland Isles’, and author J David Simons in conversation with Fiona Frank about his Scottish Jewish book series.
