Glasgow leader says Anglo-Jewry needs its own Scotland-style debate

“I hope there will be a little less anxiety today than there was yesterday in the community.

“We must be positive and look forward and be confident in ourselves.”

But he said the fall-out from the vote also had the potential to cause upheaval and warned that British Jews should “keep an eye on possible constitutional changes.

“If things change and there’s a more federal system it may have implications. We just need to pause and think about whether we need to refresh the arrangement.”

Much of the referendum debate centred on the strength of London and Westminster-based politics compared to the rest of the country.

Mr Morron warned that Anglo-Jewry was also too “London centric”. He said that the possible merger of the Board and Deputies and Jewish Leadership Council should not be the only focus of attention in terms of communal structure.

He said there was a need for Jewish communities outside London to be more widely involved in discussions that affect Jews across the country, with “more extensive use of their skills and expertise” required.
