Title |
Seeking the Fabled City: The Canadian Jewish Experience
|
Abstract |
The author outlines the 250 years of the Jewish experience in Canada, from the decade after the conquest of New France in 1759 when a small number of Sephardic Jews of Spanish and Portuguese descent arrived in Montreal, through the great wave of Russian and Eastern European Jewish immigration at the turn of the twentieth century, to the present day. For most of this time, Montreal was the main port of entry for Jewish immigrants and the epicentre of Jewish culture in Canada. Today, half the estimated 400,000 Canadians of Jewish heritage live in Toronto, and some 90,000 remain in Montreal.
