This silver commemorative plaque records: Former site of the Jewish Synagogue. The original Jewish community in this area had their Synagogue on this site. Many arrived in Dunfermline around 1900 from Eastern Europe and soon became prominent in the retail trade. Some such as the Sclars, Bernsteins and Ruddicks became well known local families. The Reverend Morris Segal followed the Reverend Balanow as the minister for Dunfermline's Jewish community and served them from the mid 1920's until the closure of Dunfermline's Synagogue in 1944. Several families then moved westwards to join the larger Jewish community in Glasgow.
