This is an autobiography of son of the Rabbi of Edinburgh who was recognized by the Scots as the Chief Rabbi of Scotland. Salis Daiches came from Lithuania born in 1880 but was educated in Germany. The book shows how Salis kept his sons to orthodox Judaism but helped them become true Scots. David lived from 1913 till 2005 became an academic and was an authority of Scottish literature.
The book mentions that the Yiddish speaking Jews recognized Germanic words used in the Scottish language and adapted them into Yiddish, so for 40 years you had a unique language spoken by them.
He says that letters to the press on Jewish issues by his father were widely read and the Presbyterian Church got on well with the Jewish community. He claims his father organized for some American Jews to get into Edinburgh to study medicine when they could not get into US universities.
Scotland is considered a country without anti-Semitism but then the reason can be that Jews got there so late on. David married a non-Jewish girl but she converted Orthodox Judaism in the States and he became a British diplomat in Washington during the war and only saw his father again towards the end of the war. He has a daughter Jenni Calder who is also an authority of Scots literature. I loved this book that tells you of a fascinating family In a city I have visited more than once and am pleased it was reprinted more recently. ( )
