The Jewish People's School of Montreal
|
| Abstract |
A history of the establishment of Jewish day schools in Montreal, and a status of those schools, circa 1948. The author was the Principal of Montreal's Jewish People's School. The Jewish People's School (Yidishe Folks Shule) provided a secular alternative to the traditional synagogue schools, and emphasized a more Zionist and slightly more religious orientation, compared with the more Yiddishist and culturally focused National Radical School (Peretz School). The Folks Shule emerged during the debates within Montreal's Jewish community between established "uptowner" Jews who favored cultural assimilation, and immigrant "downtowners" desiring separate Jewish schools that represented their ideological viewpoints and cultural identity. In 1971, financial constraints and ideological reconciliation led to the reunification of the Folks Shule and Peretz Shule. Renamed the Jewish People's and Peretz School (JPPS), the unified educational system created Bialik High School a year later, offering a comprehensive curriculum of both secular and Jewish education for secondary students.
