| Title |
Canadian Jewry Today: Portrait of a Community in the Process of Change
|
| Abstract |
The author argues for the importance of studying the Canadian Jewish community. His reasoning is that Canada is both a leading Diaspora population center and one of the few second-rank Diaspora communities that is actually growing demographically. He contends that the most important trend in Canadian Jewry in the past decades is the rise of Toronto to a preeminent status in terms of Jewish population and the concomitant decline of Montreal. He also points out that thirty-five percent of Jewish school-age children in Montreal attend Jewish day schools. Twenty-five percent attend Jewish day schools in Toronto. These are, respectively, the highest and second highest averages for day school attendance reported in North America. The author concludes by discussing the desire of Canadian Jewry to define itself by differentiating itself, politically and culturally, from the American experience.
