Book Description
The Jews of North America, based on the latest research by fifteen historians and scholars from Canada, Israel, and the United States, is the first book to focus on the ethnic totality of the American and Canadian Jewish experience. The book blends a rich array of interrelated themes into a composite whole that is central to an understanding of North American Jewish history. The emphasis on continuity of tradition in these essays counters the prevailing myth of discontinuity, which promotes the notion of the great sense of separation Jews felt from "the world we have lost." The volume also provides an interesting comparative dimension by examining the similarities and dissimilarities of the American Jewish immigrant experience in both Canada and the United States.

Book Description
Examines the ambiguous status of the Jews in Canada, caught between competing English and French Canadian interests. Their strong ties with Britain and the USA, and the British heritage of tolerance and pluralism, led the Jews to identify with English-speaking North Americans. Ch. 4 (pp. 119-161), "The French and Roman Catholic Relationship", describes French Canadian hostility toward Jews, seen as a threat to their homogeneous culture and religious heritage, and encouraged by the Catholic Church and the French antisemitic movement. Antisemitism was frequently expressed in the French Canadian press and in literary works, especially issues such as the Dreyfus Affair and the Nathan Affair (criticism of the Pope by the Jewish mayor of Rome). However, antisemitism did exist in Anglo-Canada as well, especially after the mass immigration of Jews.
