A breast cancer awareness event in Glasgow addressed by emeritus professor of surgery Michael Baum will formally launch the collaboration next month.

By Stephanie Brickman, April 8, 2010

The launch of Masorti Scotland has infuriated some Glasgow Orthodox synagogue leaders, but the Garnethill congregation is adopting a welcoming approach. Not only has Garnethill agreed to let out a room to the new group - it is also giving Masorti use of its Torah scrolls.

Masorti will hold its first service in the Esterton room on April 24, after which Masorti supporters will join Garnethill congregants for a kiddush. Masorti's plan is to hold fortnightly services until June and then go weekly.

A leading figure in Glasgow's new Masorti congregation has been relieved of his role as burial officer by the Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society (GHBS).

Warren Bader was informed by letter that his services were no longer required because of a "change of circumstance".

Mr Bader, who did not have a contract, had worked for the society for almost two years. He said it had been "a great privilege to serve the community in this way - it was just so fulfilling." He would not comment further on legal grounds.
