The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities (SCoJeC) has appointed Fiona Frank as project worker on its newly funded Being Jewish in Scotland inquiry, designed to identify the concerns of the Scottish community.

Ms Frank, the niece of Glasgow artist Hannah Frank, recently completed a PhD at Strathclyde University, studying the transmission of Jewish identity through five generations of an extended Scottish Jewish family.

She has also worked in adult literacy for many years and is a klezmer musician.

She was delighted to find a job that was such a close fit with her background. "I am very much looking forward to meeting small Jewish communities and isolated Jewish people and families all over Scotland and hearing about their experiences."
