Photos, Video: 8th Day in Scotland for pre-Chanukah Concert

Over 220 people, including men, women and children, packed into the Giffnock Shul hall in Glasgow, Scotland Thursday night, Yud Tes Kislev, for the Lubavitch of Scotland pre-Chanukah Concert with 8th Day.

The concert was arranged under the auspices of Rabbi Chaim and Sora Jacobs, Scotland’s head Shluchim for 44 years. The show was arranged and produced by their son Sholom Jacobs of Cedarhurst New York, and subsidized and funded by the Sholom and Pessy Jacobs Family Foundation.

It was truly a night of peace and community harmony, with all local Rabbonim and Shluchim in attendance, including: Rabbi Moshe Rubin of Giffnock Shul, Rabbi Eli Wolfson – Glasgow Community Youth Minister, Rabbi Mendel Jacobs of Lubavitch Shul in the Park, Rabbi Pinny Weinman of Chabad Lubavitch on Campus in Edinburgh, Rabbi Yossi Jacobs – Chief Minster of Singers Hill Birmingham and Rabbi Bodenheim – Scottish Northern Region Student Chaplain.

The food was organized by Rebbetzin Sora Jacobs, Shlucha and chef of L’Chaim’s, Scotland’s only Glatt Kosher Restaurant. It was truly an inspiring evening of real soul, spirit and Jewish pride with much audience participation in the singing and dancing – which erupted throughout the evening.

Some twenty five people came in for the evening from Birmingham, Gateshead, Manchester, Lytham St Anne’s and Edinburgh to enjoy the evening. Also in attendance was Celtic Footballer Nir Biton from Israel.
