The Jewish Future in Scotland: Engaging with the Scottish Government

Tuesday 11 Nov 2008

On 27 October JPR Director Tony Lerman met with officials from the Scottish Government in Glasgow. The discussions covered a wide variety of subjects including antisemitism, Holocaust education, the impact of global events on the Scottish Jewish community and the interaction between European governments and Jewish communities throughout Europe.

The meeting was organized by the Glasgow Jewish Educational Forum (GJEF), which runs a programme designed to bring some of Britain’s leading Jewish academics and thinkers to Scotland to promote discussion and debate.

As part of that programme, Tony Lerman gave a lecture on 26 October to the GJEF entitled ‘Do We Get the Leaders We Deserve? Representation and Responsibility in a Time of Crisis’.
