Title
Good Fences do not Necessarily Make Good Neighbors: Jews and Judaism in Canada's Schools and Universities
Abstract
An account of the history of education in Canada as it relates to Jewish inclusion and exclusion, with emphasis on the admittance of Jewish students into Montreal's public schools in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (the so-called "Jewish School Question") and the development of Jewish Day Schools in the city. The author also notes the surprisingly tolerant attitude of McGill University towards Jewish faculty and students in the nineteenth century (but ignores the less than tolerant attitude at McGill in the early twentieth century). The author also discusses the development of Jewish Studies within various universities in Canada.
