- 1912 - A general meeting of the Glasgow B'nei Zion was held in the Beth Hasepher Hall last Sunday, when Mr. Z. Golombok presided in place of Mr. J. Bernottin, resigned. The balance-sheet was adopted. The Chairman regretted the inactivities of the Society during the past few mouths, and appealed to the meeting to assist in reorganising the Society. Their position in Glasgow could, he said, be greatly improved, and their membership increased, and a special effort in this direction would be made at once. The following were elected : Messrs. A. Haase, President; Z. Golombok and B. Shenkin, Vice-Presidents; A. Links Treasurer; P. L. Halpern, Hon. Secretary; H. Furst, National Food Commissioner ; and L. Haase, Share Club Convenor.[2]
- 1931 - DEATH OF MR. SOLOMON RUBIN. The Jewish community of Glasgow has sustained a great loss by the premature death of Mr. Solomon Rubin, of 87 Millbrae Road, Langside. The deccased, who died on Monday morning, at the age of 52, was a well-known Baal Habayis, an observant Jew and a prominent member of the Queen’s Park Hebrew Congregation. He was a liberal subscriber to all charity funds and an ardent supporter of the Zionist Organisation, of which he was a member since the early days of the now defunct Glasgow B’nei Zion. Mr. Rubin was a Kosher butcher by trade and immediately his death had been notified to Mr. B. Goldberg, the Convener of the Chessed shel Emes, the latter summoned an informal meeting of the Glasgow Kosher butchers, and they unanimously passed a vote of sympathy with the wife and family of the deceased. They also decided to send two cabs and to attend the funeral personally. There was a large attendance at the cemetery including the three local Rabbonim.[3]
