A leader of Scotland’s Jewish community has said the result of the independence referendum will not have a huge impact on life for Jews in the country.
Scotland voted 55 per cent to 45 per cent against becoming an independent country in yesterday’s vote.
Many of Scotland’s 6,000 Jews had expressed fears that a split from the Union could lead to a rise in anti-Zionist tendencies in the country. There were further concerns over the possible effect on issues such as circumcision and kosher slaughter.
Ephraim Borowski, director of the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, said Scottish Jews were “unlikely to be significantly affected by the outcome”.
