Title
The Story of Jewish Vocational Service in Canada
Abstract
The authors explore the development of Jewish vocational services (JVS) in Montreal and Toronto in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War up to the twenty-first century. JVS in Canada aimed initially to help estranged Holocaust survivors find accommodations and work. But what began modestly grew into organizations offering a range of vocational and professional services and working at the forefront of communal philanthropy leveraging government and corporate support for the betterment of the local communities.
