Formerly known as Lulav (2002-2016), Etrog is our quarterly magazine.
With a focus on Scottish-Jewish interest items, we publish reflections on community events, book and film reviews, ecological tips, visual art, conversations with members and more.
Etrog is written by local community. It is distributed digitally via our mailing list and in print at services. Get in touch if you’d like to join the mailing list.
