Canada's Jews

Canada is home to one of the worlds largest and most culturally creative Jewish communities, and one of few in the Diaspora that continues to grow demographically. With its tendency to mirror trends found in Jewish communities elsewhere (particularly in the United States) and simultaneous functioning as a distinct society, Canadas Jewish community holds great interest for scholars, exercising a measurable influence on the culture and politics of world Jewry today. Consisting of a series of essays written by experts in their respective fields, Canadas Jews is a topical encyclopaedia covering a wide variety of subjects from history and religion to the intellectual and cultural contributions of Canadas Jews.
