The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre presents our next speaker on Sunday 28th February 2021 at 8pm GMT on Zoom, live from New York city
Jeremy Rosen will speak about his memories of Glasgow
He was born in Manchester in 1942 and moved with his family to Glasgow in 1943 when his father Kopul Rosen became the Communal Rabbi. After an education in Cambridge and Jerusalem, he became the Rabbi of Giffnock & Newlands Synagogue in 1968, where he spent three very happy and formative years. He left Glasgow reluctantly to become headmaster of Carmel College, before moving to the Western Synagogue in London. He became the professor of the Faculty for Comparative Religion in Belgium and then moved to New York, where he is now, the Rabbi of the small Persian Community in Manhattan.
