The motion

That the Parliament congratulates The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, Garnethill Synagogue Preservation Trust and the Garnethill Hebrew Congregation on the creation of the Scottish Jewish Heritage Centre, which is based in the Garnethill Synagogue; recognises that the new centre has interpretative displays, a Scottish Holocaust-era Study Centre, a reference library, digital research resources and new volunteer-led facilities to welcome school parties and visitors; commends the investment of almost £530,000 in building restoration works to improve public access and create the new facilities, which has been funded through grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, The Association of Jewish Refugees, The Wolfson Family Charitable Trust, The Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany (Edinburgh), the Community Security Trust and the Architectural Heritage Fund - William Grant Foundation, and wishes everyone involved in the project good luck in promoting the new facility and encouraging a wider understanding of Jewish history in the City of Glasgow and in Scotland, as well as an appreciation of the Category A-listed Garnethill Synagogue.
