Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, is to be guest speaker at this year’s Board of Deputies President’s Dinner.
Ms Davidson said she was “honoured to have been asked to speak and mark the immense contribution of the Jewish community.”
She added: “At what can seem a challenging, politically divisive time, I believe it’s of paramount importance that we celebrate our shared values and the bonds that bind us together.
“I’m thoroughly looking forward to addressing the Board of Deputies in September and joining the ranks of a prestigious list of speakers.”
