The Jewish Social Services in Quebec - An Historical Survey: 1863-1984
|
| Abstract |
The Jewish tradition of charity can trace its roots in Montreal to the Hebrew Philanthropic Society, established in 1847. Its mission was to provide resettlement services for the growing population of European Jewish immigrants arriving in the city. It lasted for almost fifteen years, and was replaced in 1863 by the Young Men's Hebrew Benevolent Society, and in 1877 by the Young Women's Hebrew Philanthropic Society. These societies provided basic needs as well as cultural, educational, and social development for Jewish immigrants. In 1891, the Young Men's Hebrew Benevolent Society changed its name to the Baron de Hirsch Institute and Hebrew Benevolent Society of Montreal. In 1916, the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies was established, with the Baron de Hirsch Institute becoming one of the original twelve constituent societies. Today, the Federation is known as the Federation CJA.
