With its ability to mirror trends found in Jewish communities elsewhere (particularly the United States) while simultaneously functioning as a distinct society, Canada's Jewish community holds great interest for scholars, exercising a measurable influence on the culture and politics of World Jewry. Consisting of a series of essays written by experts in their respective fields, Canada's Jews is a topical encyclopaedia, covering a wide variety of topics, from history and religion to the intellectual and cultural contributions of Canada's Jews. An indispensable reference book for both laypeople and for scholars of Jewish and Canadian studies. 410 0$aJews in Space and Time 606 $aJews$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aJews$zCanada$xIdentity 606 $aJews$zCanada$xIntellectual life 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 676 $a971.004924 701 $aRobinson$b Ira$0802020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463134203321 996 $aCanada's Jews$92477325 997 $aUNINA
