Title
À la croisée de la Révolution tranquille et du judaïsme orthodoxe : l’implantation de la communauté hassidique des Tasher au coeur du Québec francophone et catholique (1962-1967)
Abstract
The author focusses on the first contacts in the 1960s between an Hasidic Jewish community and the Catholic and Francophone population of Boisbriand, an off-island suburban municipality northwest of Montreal, that was in the midst of industrial expansion. The author claims that the context of the Quiet Revolution, which was marked by a significant lessening of Catholicism and a movement toward national affirmation mainly driven by the French language, promoted a new openness toward Judaism. The author explores how the Kiryas Tosh community dealt with the contemporary era’s mechanisms to better protect themselves against its perils.
