Jewish Roots, Canadian Soil: Yiddish Culture in Montreal, 1905-1945
|
| Abstract |
An examination of Montreal's Jewish community during the first half of the twentieth century. In 1931, ninety-nine percent of the city's 60,000 Jewish residents reported Yiddish as their mother tongue, and Yiddish was the third most prominent language after French and English. The author explores the lives and works of activists, writers, scholars, performers and organizations that fuelled a thriving Yiddish community in Montreal. She also considers the foundations and development of Yiddish cultural life in the city in its interaction with broader issues of diasporic Jewish culture.
