The Scottish Jewish Heritage Centre (SJHC) is seeking a new independent trustee to join its Board. The SJHC is a SCIO based in Garnethill Synagogue in Glasgow. It was created in partnership by The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre (SJAC) and Garnethill Synagogue Preservation Trust (GSPT) working alongside Garnethill Hebrew Congregation: sjhc.org.uk/who-we-are. The SJHC runs public tours, events, and visits for primary and secondary schools, using the historic building of Garnethill Synagogue and archive collections to support learning about Judaism, migration, refugees and the Holocaust. Its aims are to:
