Glasgow-born-and-raised and now based in New York, Sholom and his seven-year-old son Shmuel will entertain at a Lubavitch of Scotland Purim dinner and concert.

"It is always very special to come home," Sholom told the Jewish Telegraph.

"It is especially exciting as I am singing and it is what I love to do."

Sholom's father Rabbi Chaim Jacobs established Lubavitch in Glasgow in 1970, while brother Rabbi Mendel Jacobs also lives in the city.

Brother Rabbi Yossi Jacobs is a minister in Birmingham.

Sholom left Glasgow when he was 17 to study at a yeshiva in Israel, before moving to New York where he now works in real estate.

Son Shmuel is clearly following in his dad's footsteps, as Sholom also started singing when he was seven.

Sholom, 34, also worked as a part-time chazan at Giffnock Synagogue, flying in from New York for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.

He now sings at concerts all over America and at various Shabbatons.

In addition, Sholom is chazan for Chabad of the Five Towns in New York.

Also on the bill will be Russian violinist Lev Atlas, while the acts will be accompanied by The Taste of Honey Trio from London.

The big event will take place in the Giffnock Shul hall and will include gourmet food, singing, dancing, hamantashen, a fancy dress contest and more.

The cost is £20 per person and £10 for children 12 and under. Concessions are also available.

But there are limited places, so book by February 28.
