It does so mainly by reviewing data from the 2021 Canadian census on Jews who identify as members of visible, Indigenous, and gender minorities. This discussion points to several areas in need of further academic research, and concludes by claiming that, ironically, understudied Canadian Jewish minorities (including but not restricted to those discussed here) may form a majority of Canada’s Jewish population, making their inclusion in community affairs a necessity for the continued social cohesion of the country’s Jewish community.</p>2024-01-24T00:00:00-05:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://cjs.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/cjs/article/view/40336Commemoration and Cultural Revitalization: The Lifeworld of Montreal’s Hungarian Martyrs Synagogue and Hungarian Jewish Sisterhood2024-01-22T18:02:22-05:00Sean Remz<p>Building upon fairly recent scholarship on the reception of Holocaust survivors in Canada and Montreal more specifically, this article examines a synagogue and sisterhood specific to Hungarian Holocaust survivors in Montreal, most of whom arrived in the wake of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Holocaust survivor accounts suggest a barrier between them and previously settled Canadian Jews, particularly in the realms of sociability and synagogue life. This barrier was heightened among Hungarians given the language gap, contributing to their impetus for a synagogue of their own, named the Hungarian Martyrs Synagogue. Their Holocaust commemoration events and dances were distinctive in their reverential discourse of martyrdom, and sense of cultural revitalization. The primary source base for this article is the memorial volume of the Hungarian Martyrs Synagogue (which includes commemorative poetry), with insight and context from oral history interviews.</p>2024-01-24T00:00:00-05:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://cjs.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/cjs/article/view/40337A “Ghoulish Jamboree”: The Not-So-Jewish Jewish Funeral of Mob Boss Bessie Starkman2024-01-22T18:44:45-05:00Monda Halpern<p>Bessie Starkman (1890-1930), along with her lover Rocco Perri, was one of the most notorious crime bosses in 1920s Canada. When unknown thugs murdered the forty-year-old at her Hamilton, Ontario home, Canada’s underworld lost one of its most powerful figures, and according to one writer “the only Jewish woman who ever commanded an Italian mob.” Focused on the couple’s criminality and Starkman’s 1930 murder, scholars have generally sidestepped exploration of her Jewish identity and background. Indeed, in 2005, author Robin Rowland declared simply that when the wife and mother ran off with the Italian Catholic Perri, she “abandoned her husband, children, and Jewish faith”; almost every subsequent source on Starkman has quoted or paraphrased this assertion. The notion that Bessie Starkman “deserted the Jewish faith,” however, requires greater scrutiny, especially as the concept of religious abandonment had consequences regarding funerary ritual and interment. Unlike other works that describe Starkman’s extravagant funeral to emphasize her celebrity, Perri’s husbandly devotion, or the occasion’s cultural/religious pluralism, this article examines Starkman’s funeral and burial specifically through a Jewish lens and highlights the cultural and religious tension that surrounded these rites. Thanks largely to Perri, there were two major features that conformed to Jewish custom, notably the rabbi officiant and Starkman’s burial in Hamilton’s Orthodox Jewish cemetery. But the simple Jewish funeral that prioritized the dignity, privacy, and purity of the body clashed with Perri’s explicit desire for a spectacle, one marked by crowds, adulation, and opulence. Ultimately, Starkman’s public funeral, as one observer noted, became a “ghoulish jamboree.”</p>2024-01-24T00:00:00-05:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://cjs.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/cjs/article/view/40338Outside the Colony: Jewish Farmers on the Prairies2024-01-22T18:53:44-05:00John C. Lehr<p>Jews who immigrated to the Canadian prairies before 1914 mostly gravitated to urban areas. Those who chose to farm usually located in Jewish agricultural colonies where a full Jewish life was possible. A minority voluntarily settled in small farming communities among non-Jews. Jewish merchants in prairie towns also became involved in agriculture both as farmers and as agricultural traders and dealers. Few Jews chose to settle on homesteads where they were isolated from Jewish social and religious life. In the interwar period, attempts to circumvent restrictions placed on Jewish immigration led Jewish philanthropic agencies to place Jewish refugee immigrants on scattered farms, often isolated from Jewish communities. Although economically unsuccessful the strategy achieved its humanitarian objectives.</p>2024-01-24T00:00:00-05:00Copyright (c) 2024
