Struggles and Successes: The Beginnings of Jewish Life in Canada in the Eighteenth Century
|
Abstract |
The author outlines the beginnings of Jewish communities Canada, starting with Halifax and Montreal in the eighteenth century. The first recorded Jewish settlement in what is now Canada came into being in Halifax in the 1750s. Montreal, however, was the first Jewish community in Canada to achieve institutional permanence, though in the eighteenth century it remained relatively small. Montreal's Spanish and Portuguese (Shearith Israel) synagogue, founded in 1768, is the oldest in Canada.
