| Title |
Uncovering the Historical Consolidation of Montreal’s Contemporary Jewish Polity (1882-1948)
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the Montreal Jewish polity which began at the end of the nineteenth century in reaction to the inhospitable external environment (Catholic anti-Semitism) to which Jewish institutions were forced to respond and evolved over a fifty-year span into self-sustained institutions. The author’s essay sets out to: “1) uncover the developmental processes that have framed Montreal’s Jewish polity, and 2) to question whether this institutional body has remained socially relevant according to administrative practices that differ from Catholic parish politics. The historical juncture spanning from 1882 to 1948 will be of primary importance throughout this analysis. This epoch may be seen as the polity consolidation period, during which Montreal’s Jewish community transitioned from resembling a shtetl-like community, bound by informal methods of congregation, into a relatively institutionally complete pseudo-state.”
