LECTURE
THE JEWS OF THE "MAIN"
It took centuries of anti-semitism and exclusion before Montreal Jews became aware that they truly belonged to a society like no other.
Not only did they form the “third solitude”, but they were sandwiched in between the other two along St. Laurent Blvd, the metropolis’s main street. It is there that they took up residence, worked relentlessly in the “schmata” industry and founded their own institutions, shops and places of worship.
Judaism in Quebec is distinct from that found in other parts of North America. Come discover, in the historic Jewish neighbourhood, all of its tenacity, warmth and originality. In addition, you’ll get acquainted with some real characters who played essential roles in the community.
Shalom!
Zoom videoconferencing platform required.
PowerPoint presentation approx. 75 min +
30-min discussion period

We were very fortunate to have a truly qualified guide. She was not only knowledgeable about the area but Quebec and all of Canada as well.
Absolutely terrific!

I was very happy to visit Little Burgundy virtually, especially when we need a change of scenery during this pandemic.
I learned so much about Black history and the jazz scene, which I previously did not know despite being born in Montreal and living there for most of my life.
