  • Judaism: a Supplemental Resource for Grade 12 World of Religions: a Canadian Perspective 3 Q the Original Name for the People We Now Call Jews Was Hebrews
    Introduction What Is Judaism? A Brief Summary Judaism originated in the Middle East over 3500 years ago and is the original, or first, of the three Abrahamic faiths, which also include Christianity and Islam. The three share a common origin that flows from a biblical figure known as Abraham, the worship of the God of Abraham, and the practices of the ancient Israelites. However, Abraham’s role and place in each faith is different. In Judaism, he is the founder of the Covenant, the special relationship between the Jewish people and God. In Christianity, he is the model for all believers, Jewish or not. In Islam, he is seen as being one link in a chain of prophets that began with Adam and culminated in Muhammad. Jews believe that Abraham discovered that there was one God, thus introducing the concept of monotheism. This established an individual covenant (bond, special relationship) with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their families to further spiritual teachings that would be later identified with Jewish religious tradition. This individual covenant became a national covenant, when the Jewish collectively received the Torah at Mount Sinai. According to Jewish tradition and history, this occurred after Moses led the Jewish people to freedom from slavery in Egypt. (Source: Multifaith Information Manual) Some key aspects of Jewish faith include the following: Q Jews believe that there is only one God, with whom they have a covenant. Q As God chose to reveal the Torah and righteous values and practices, Jewish people choose to keep God’s laws and try to bring holiness into every aspect of their lives.

    Historica Canada Education Portal Hart & Papineau Overview This lesson is based on viewing the Heritage Minute, "Hart & Papineau." Under the tenure of Louis-Joseph Papineau, the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada passed a bill in 1832 that ultimately guaranteed full rights to people practicing the Jewish faith. It was the first of the British colonies to do so. Aims After discussing and making sense of the events that take place in the "Hart and Papineau" Minute, students will watch additional related Heritage Minutes to develop their understanding of how democracy developed in Canada. Students will expand on the theme of democracy that is explored in the "Hart and Papineau" Minute to look at the issue of minority rights in Canada. Students will research the histories of minority groups in Canada and the discrimination they have encountered. Background The year is 1808. Ezekiel Hart has been elected to the Assembly of Lower Canada (now Québec), and tries to take his oath of office. But Joseph Papineau, another Member, protests that Hart, as a Jew, cannot take the oath on the Christian Bible and, therefore, cannot sit as a Member. The Speaker of the Assembly agrees, and Hart is expelled. But as he leaves, Hart confronts Joseph Papineau's son, the newly-elected Louis-Joseph Papineau, and challenges him to right the injustice. Years pass; it is 1832, and Louis-Joseph Papineau, now the Speaker of the Assembly, proclaims a new law, which gives democratic rights to Jews. In the final scene, Speaker Papineau leads the aged Ezekiel Hart out of the Assembly building in an act of courtesy and respect.

  • Loyalist Jews During the American Revolution
    LOYALIST JEWS DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION The Loyalist Diaspora The month of May in the Province of Ontario, Canada, is Jewish Heritage Month and to celebrate this let’s look back in history and examine the lives of a few Loyalist Jews, who, I believe during the American Revolution remained loyal to the Crown and eventually moved to Canada. But first, let’s begin by examining the American Revolution and the plight of the United Empire Loyalists (UEL). In reality, the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a vicious civil war pitting Rebels against Loyalists. At the beginning of the conflict people living in the colonies were divided in sentiment; some scholars argued that one-third were for independence as a republic, one-third were against independence as a republic and were loyal to the King, and the remaining one-third were neutral. By the end of the American Revolutionary War, approximately 100,000 Loyalists were forced to leave the new United States and scatter throughout the British Empire. This ‘Loyalist Diaspora’ resulted in about 90,000 coming to what is now Canada. Even before the war started, Loyalists were being severely persecuted. For example, in Connecticut, draconian ‘Committees of Observation’ were established in communities to weed-out and enforce laws against anyone who was not a ‘Patriot’. Sadly, these committees were no better than government- sanctioned mobs. Loyalists were beaten and robbed, “tarred and feathered”, hanged, and at a minimum run out of town. Profiteers grabbed their homes, farms and anything else they could get their hands on. Connecticut passed laws to ferret out and punish Loyalists.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev.

We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • Reflections on Antisemitism in French Canada
    90 Ira Robinson / Reflections on Antisemitism in French Canada Ira Robinson Reflections on Antisemitism in French Canada Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 21, 2013 [2014] 91 Et, pour vrai dire, what more political is there to say after you have said : À bas les maudits Juifs! A. M. Klein1 Introduction It is more than appropriate that we are gathered together at this conference to hon- our Gerald Tulchinsky for his work that has served to shape the contours of Canadian Jewish history in the past two decades in which Canadian Jewish studies has arguably become a field of its own.2 He represents the transition from the community-based historiography of Cana- dian Jewry, as represented by the work of B.G. Sack, Louis Rosenberg, and David Rome, to take three distinguished examples, to that of university-trained and based academics. It is telling that in his survey of the historiography of the Jews of Canada in his initial 1992 history, Taking Root: the origins of the Canadian Jewish Community, Tulchinsky acknowledges only three academic predecessors, all of whose works had preceded his own book by less than a decade: Bernard Vigod (1984), Michael Brown (1986), and Irving Abella (1990).3 Of these three, it is evident that Brown’s book made the most impression on him, as the other two books are described in a sentence apiece, whereas Brown’s Jew or Juif is given four meaty sentences which conclude with the statement that the book “will remain an important point of departure for students in this field for years to come.”4 This presentation will look at one of the theses of Michael Brown’s book that im- pressed Tulchinsky: “the rejection of Catholic Québec as a major conditioning factor in the Canadian Jewish experience”.
