Hundreds Celebrate Purim in the Scottish Lowlands
Almost 200 people attended the Lubavitch Purim Concert and Dinner in Glasgow, Scotland on Purim. Bookings for the event closed three weeks before Purim, and on the night of the event there was a waiting list of 30 people!
Stars of the night were Sholom Jacobs, son of Rabbi and Mrs. Chaim Jacobs, his 8-year-old son Shmuel, Russian violinist Lev Atlas and the Taste of Honey trio from London.
Everyone present enjoyed the electric atmosphere of the evening, with much clapping, singing and dancing. A superb three course gourmet meal was catered by L’Chaim’s Kosher Catering, entirely organised by Mrs. Sora Jacobs – Lubavitch shlucha in Glasgow. Food and wine flowed freely, and everyone had a great time. Tickets were priced at a very nominal fee to enable many people in the community to attend and enjoy the event.
The event was subsidised by a very generous donation of £3,000 from the Sholom and Pessy Charitable Foundation.
During the evening a very special ‘Chessed Award’ presentation was made to Malcolm Livingstone by Rabbi & Mrs Chaim Jacobs in appreciation of the generous and constant support of Mr Livingstone and family to Lubavitch, and all his tremendous charitable work on behalf of the entire Glasgow Jewish Community. Malcolm was always there to sort out the problems in the community and often acted on them before people knew about them. Rabbi Jacobs referred to him as the “godfather” of the community, and said this award was well deserved.
Numerous people have already requested tickets for the next Lubavitch Purim Concert which has been arranged for next Purim on Sunday 24th February 2013.
Over the course of Purim Lubavitch and the Park Shul visited close to 400 families to deliver Mishloach Monos.

have it in a bigger place next year, so no one is turned away. a person has an inspiration to attend, but if they are turned away, perhaps they won’t have that inspiration next time.
