Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosenberg drew his information from the Canadian census of 1931 and previous census records, statistical material from other studies collected by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and international data sources. His comparative approach, with Canadian Jews compared wherever possible to other ethnic or religious groups in Canada and to diaspora Jewish communities elsewhere, is a major strength of the work. This new edition is a facsimile which faithfully reproduces Rosenberg's meticulous compilation of statistics. It includes a new introductory essay by Morton Weinfeld, who focuses on Rosenberg's life, the era, and the relevance of the book for today's readers. Weinfeld has also prepared a detailed bibliography of Rosenberg's social scientific works on Canadian Jewish life.

Download or read book History of the Jews in Quebec written by Pierre Anctil and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of Jews in Quebec dates back four centuries. Quebec Jewry, in Montreal in particular, has evolved over time, thanks to successive waves of migration from different regions of the world. The Jews of Quebec belong to a unique society in North America, which they have worked to fashion. The dedication with which they have defended their rights and their extensive achievements in multiple sectors of activity have helped foster diversity in Quebec. This work recounts the different contributions Jews have made over the years, along with the cultural context that encouraged the emergence in Montreal of a Jewish community like no other in North America. This is the first overview of a history that began during the French Regime and continued, through many twists and turns, up to the turn of the twenty-first century.
Download or read book The Jews of Windsor 1790 1990 written by Jonathan V. Plaut and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the first Jewish settler, Moses David, the important role that Windsor Jews played in the development of Ontario's south is mirrored in this 200-year chronicle. the founding pioneer families transformed their Eastern European shtetl into a North American settlement; many individuals were involved in establishing synagogues, schools, and an organized communal structure in spite of divergent religious, political, and economic interests. Modernity and the growing influences of Zionism and Conservative/Reform Judaism challenged the traditional and leftist leanings of the community's founders. From the outset, Jews were represented in city council, actively involved in communal organizations, and appointed to judicial posts. While its Jewish population was small, Windsor boasted Canada's first Jewish Cabinet members, provincially and federally, in David Croll and Herb Gray. As the new millennium approached, jews faced shrinking numbers, forcing major consolidations in order to ensure their survival.

Download or read book Jew Or Juif Jews French Canadians and Anglo Canadians 1759 1914 written by Michael G. Brown and published by Philadelphia : Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 1987 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the ambiguous status of the Jews in Canada, caught between competing English and French Canadian interests. Their strong ties with Britain and the USA, and the British heritage of tolerance and pluralism, led the Jews to identify with English-speaking North Americans. Ch. 4 (pp. 119-161), "The French and Roman Catholic Relationship", describes French Canadian hostility toward Jews, seen as a threat to their homogeneous culture and religious heritage, and encouraged by the Catholic Church and the French antisemitic movement. Antisemitism was frequently expressed in the French Canadian press and in literary works, especially issues such as the Dreyfus Affair and the Nathan Affair (criticism of the Pope by the Jewish mayor of Rome). However, antisemitism did exist in Anglo-Canada as well, especially after the mass immigration of Jews.
