The Babylonian Talmud, the Jerusalem Talmud, and the “Quebec Talmud”: A Response to the Anti-Jewish Attack in a “Pious” Quebec Newspaper
|
| Abstract |
On October 2, 1942, Rabbi Pinchas Hirschprung (1912-1998) of Montreal's Aadth Jeshurun-Hadarath synagogue wrote a rebuttal in the city's Yiddish newspaper, The Keneder Adler, to a series of articles on the Jewish Talmud written by a Quebec priest, Bonaventure Péloquin, in the "pious" l'Action Catholique newspaper. The priest's anti-Semetic writings alleged that there existed a corrupt nature in Jewish law outlined in the Talmud in relation to Christians. Rabbi Hirschprung, a Talmud scholar, pointed out that some of the priest's citations were entirely absent from the Talmud, while others were so distorted through translation that they had an entirely different sense than in the original.
