Glasgow Jewish Continuity

Glasgow Jewish Continuity was a Glasgow Jewish community board set up in June 1996 that made grants to Jewish community organisations. It was funded by the Joint Israel Appeal and the Glasgow Jewish Community Trust, and its executive officer was David Kaplan.[1] From 2000 the Jewish Year Book listed it as part of the United Jewish Israel Appeal in Glasgow, as "UJIA (incorporating Glasgow Jewish Continuity)", at the Jewish Community Centre, 222 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Glasgow, G46 6UE.[2]

The 1997 Jewish Year Book listed Glasgow Jewish Continuity and Renewal at 43 Queen Square, Glasgow G41, with Dr D. Shapiro as chair and D. Kaplan as executive officer.[3]
In May 1997 the Jewish Chronicle reported that the board had awarded almost £12,000 to 14 organisations. The recipients named included the Glasgow Jewish Resource Centre, the Argyll and Bute Jewish Community, the Glasgow Jewish Students' Society and the Northern Chaplaincy Board, the cheder of Newton Mearns Synagogue, the Glasgow Jewish Learning Centre and Glasgow New Synagogue.[1]
