Kosher haggis, tartan kippot, and Jewish Burns' Suppers: Jews
acculturated to Scotland within one generation and quickly
inflected Jewish culture in a Scottish idiom. This book analyses
the religious aspects of this transition through a transnational
perspective on migration in the first three decades of the
twentieth century. As immigrants began to outnumber the established
Jewish community, and Eastern European rabbis challenged the
British Jewish leadership in London, Scottish Jewry underwent
momentous changes. The book examines this tumultuous period through
a thematic biography of Salis Daiches, Scotland's most significant
rabbi. Drawing on previously unseen archival material, including
Rabbi Daiches' personal correspondence, the book provides a window
into the dynamics of Jewish religious life and power relations.
