Scottish Association of Jewish Teachers
Scottish Association of Jewish Teachers (SAJT) is a body of Jewish teachers in Scotland. In July 1993 the Jewish Chronicle quoted its treasurer, Ruth Levey, on the withdrawal of pupils from religious celebrations.[1] In January 1994 the paper reported that the association's chairman had described the state of Jewish education in Glasgow as "desperate"; the same report quoted Paula Cowan calling for the appointment of a director of education and a Jewish chaplain.[2] In 1995 it ran 50 Years On, a creative language and drawing competition for schools on the Holocaust.[3] In November 2015, according to Source News, it took part with Scottish Friends of Israel in a consultation meeting with Education Scotland on new teaching materials on Israel and Palestine.[4]
The Glasgow Jewish community directory lists it with the telephone number 0141 577 8200,[5] the number of the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council and the Jewish Community Centre at 222 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Glasgow, G46 6UE.[6] The community website's page at the SAJT address is now headed Jewish Teachers’ Network (Scotland), with co-chairs Kimberley Vallance and John Summers-Campbell.[7]
