Title
Finding a Rabbi for Quebec City : The Interplay between an American Yeshiva and a Canadian Congregation
Abstract
The author examines the relationship between the Congregation Bais Israel-Oheb Sholom of Quebec City and the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University in New York City between the 1930s and the 1960s. He examines in detail the way in which newly ordained American Orthodox rabbis were placed as spiritual leaders in Canada, and specifically in a city with a majority French Canadian language and culture.
