"Born in Russia in 1841, Shyne became rabbi of the small Jewish community in Helsinki in Finland. By 1885 he had settled in the Gorbals and was acting as a rabbi there, even though the Chief Rabbi had not appointed him. The latter took action to curtail Shyne's activities and gave his support to the Reverend [[E P Phillips]], minister of the [[Glasgow Hebrew Congregation]] which included Gorbals Jewry. Nevertheless, Shyne continued to work in the Gorbals and received a small weekly payment from members of the Jewish community.

Syne was an Honorary Vice-President of the [[Glasgow Zionist Association]] formed in 1898. He went to Palestine after the death of his wife in 1907."<ref>https://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSE00741&t=2</ref>
