David Nehemiah Links (born 1916, Cathcart[1], died 2000, Eastwood and Mearns.[2]) was a Glasgow based Zionist activist from the Links family who have been central to Zionism in Glasgow for more than a century.
David got engaged to Irene Links (nee sotnick) in 1941, being described as the 'younger son' of Mr. and Mrs A Links of 6 Netherby Drive, Pollokshields, Glasgow.[3] Their marriage does not feature in the Scotland's People database, presumably because Irene's parents lived in Southsea/Chichester and the marriage took place in England.
David's siblings were Joshua Links (b 1908), Sarah Hannah Links (b 1909), Jeanie Links (b 1911), Benzion Moses Links (b 1913), Nettie Links (b 1914) and Miriam Murielle Lnks (b 1924)[4]
JNF activities
In 1973 three members of the Links family were involved in running the Glasgow Commission of the JNF. Abraham was Honorary President and a Trustee, Maurice Benzion was joint chair of the Glasgow Blue and White Committee which put on fundraising events, and David Nehemiah Links (Maurice’s younger brother) was Chairman of the Glasgow Box Committee (in charge of fundraising through the ‘blue box’ distributed to each Zionist family). In 1951, Abraham was Vice President, and between 1963 and 1965 David was Chairman, of the Glasgow Friends of the Hebrew University, where he sat alongside Harold Sellyn as Hon Sec, from another key Zionist family. Between at least 1964-1973, David’s wife Irene (nee Sotnick) was listed as Hon. Sec of the Glasgow Rosa Wollstein Group of WIZO, the Women’s International Zionist Organisation.
