Glasgow Jewish Continuity and Renewal was a Glasgow Jewish renewal programme associated with the formation of the United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA) in 1997, when the Joint Israel Appeal merged with Jewish Continuity.[1][2] It is a predecessor of UJIA Scotland and is related to Glasgow Jewish Continuity.
History
Jewish Continuity, described by UJIA as "a national foundation for Jewish educational programmes and outreach", was founded in 1993, "inspired by the writings of Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks". The Joint Jewish Charitable Trust was formed in 1996. UJIA itself was "formed following the merger of JIA and Jewish Continuity" in 1997.[1] The Trust's first accounts state that it was established on 16 December 1996, started operations in January 1997, and is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales as charity 1060078.[2]
In the period ended 31 December 1997 the Trust reported a grant of £750,000 to Jewish Continuity for educational programmes in the United Kingdom, and said that it had "continued some of the most successful programmes absorbed from Jewish Continuity", including the Hebrew Reading Crash Course and Jewish Activities in Mainstream Schools. Among "Renewal Programmes" implemented by the charity, the accounts listed "Glasgow Renewal programmes" with expenditure of £12,000.[2]
UJIA Scotland later listed the work in Glasgow as "UJIA (incorporating Glasgow Jewish Continuity)".[3]
