Evelyn Stella Tiefenbrun is a Glasgow based Zionist activist and member of the Tiefenbrun family which runs Linn Products. In 1967 she was one of a number of glasgow based 'volunters' in relation to the so called 'six day war'. Married to Ivor Tiefenbrun

Evelyn Tiefenbrun worked as a guide with French, Italian and Israeli groups coming to Glasgow, specializing in business-oriented tours. ‘I felt the profile of Blue Badge Guides could be raised and so, starting in 1991, I devised annual theatrical bus tours of Glasgow in collaboration with a colleague Evelyn Hutchison, which we ran on International Day of Tour Guiding'. In 1996 Evelyn was joint course director of the STGA Training Course at the University of Strathclyde, along with Jennefer Riley (aka Jennefer Hutton), then her business partner. In the late 1990s, Evelyn Hutchison and Margaret Anderson organised a series of lectures and some outings for German-speaking guides, especially in the Glasgow area. [1]

She ran Hebrew taster sessions at the University of Strathclyde.[2] She was also chairman for Limmud Scotland which promises to take people 'one step further on your Jewish journey'.[3]
