Scottish Council of Jewish Communities : ウィキペディア英語版 | Scottish Council of Jewish Communities
The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities (SCoJeC) is the representative body of all the Jewish communities of Scotland. Its primary function is to act on behalf of Scotland's Jewish Communities to all external bodies. It is also responsible for a variety of activities and publications to support Jews and Jewish Communities in Scotland, and fostering both good community relations and community cohesion. George Reid, the former Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, speaking at the SCoJeC AGM in 2007, said: "SCoJeC is an example to other communities. I want to thank the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities for grasping the outstretched hand of the Parliament, and for getting involved. Ephraim and Leah (Director and Deputy Director respectively ) are weel kent figures to Ministers, to MSPs, to the senior civil servants, to the leaders of the STUC. You bring common sense and decency to everything you do. And you do engage – how you engage! In Scotland, your small community has made a remarkable contribution to our national life. Through the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities it has led to your full engagement with our new institutions."〔(Four Corners Magazine, December 2007 )〕 == History == SCoJeC was formed in 1999, principally by the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council and the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation, after Devolution to give the Jewish Community of Scotland a single democratically accountable voice in dealings with the Scottish Parliament and Government, other communities, and other statutory and official bodies. The intention, when it was established was for it to stand in the same relationship to the Scottish Government as the Board of Deputies of British Jews does to Her Majesty's Government. Consequently the Council is autonomous in matters devolved by the Scotland Act, such as justice, health and welfare, and community relations, whilst the Board of Deputies speaks for all Britain's Jews on reserved matters such as foreign affairs and equality legislation.〔(About SCoJeC )〕
