Revision as of 19:22, 12 March 2025
The GJRC states:
- When the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council (GJRC) was formed in 1914, it was to represent the Jewish community in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. The Council helps to ensure cordial relations between the Jewish community and other civic and religious groups and sends delegates to a variety of faith and other forums and committees. The Glasgow Jewish Representative Council, which is democratically elected, hosts a forum for religious, welfare, cultural, social, educational and youth organisations. It liaises with these bodies to ensure the effective running of the community.[1]
GLASGOW JEWISH REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL POSITION ON ISRAEL
- 10 October, 2024
- In light of recent events and experience over the last year, it’s important for the Rep Council to be clear as to where we, as an organisation representing the Jewish community of Glasgow and the West of Scotland, stand regarding Israel:
- Our community has long been and continues to be strongly Zionist, in the sense of being supportive of the right to Jewish self-determination in our ancestral homeland. Israel is integral to the Jewish identity of the overwhelming majority of Jews in the UK, and attachment to the land of Israel is inherent in Jewish belief and practice.
- Reflecting this, the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council in turn is committed to:
- Supporting and defending the maintenance of Israel as a pluralist Jewish and democratic state;
- Recognising the right and obligation of Israel’s government to ensure security for and to protect the rights and freedoms of its population, including Israel’s inherent right to self-defence against armed attack;
- Promoting lasting peace in the Middle East, including an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict via a negotiated and mutually agreed two-state solution, with a secure Israel existing alongside a viable Palestinian State, and
- Combatting so-called “anti-Zionist” discrimination against the Jewish right of self-determination.[2]
