| Title |
The Precarious History of Jewish Education in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that in Canada, the Jewish education systems reflect the local structures and institutions in which they develop. Jewish education in Quebec was shaped by the province's linguistically (and earlier, religiously) separated society. Although the Jewish community of Montreal has contributed significantly in the social, political, and economic spheres of Quebec life, it remains largely unknown to the other local communities. The author offers a historical context of the religious and social factors that have resulted in Montreal holding the highest percentage of students enrolled in separate Jewish day schools across Canada. She notes that this percentage remains more than 50 percent higher than the average attendance of Jewish school-age children in the USA.
