Jewish Orthodoxy in Scotland - Rabbi Dr Salis Daiches and Religious Leadership

A transnational, biographical perspective on Jewish religious leadership in early 20th-century Scotland

Kosher haggis, tartan kippot, and Jewish Burns Night Suppers: Jews acculturated to Scotland within one generation and quickly inflected Jewish culture in a Scottish idiom.

This book approaches the momentous changes within early 20th-century British Jewry through a thematic biography of Salis Daiches, Scotland's most significant rabbi. Drawing on previously unseen archival material, including Rabbi Daiches's personal correspondence, the book provides a window into the dynamics of Jewish religious life and power relations.

Hannah Holtschneider is Senior Lecturer in Jewish Studies at the University of Edinburgh.
