Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. The present-day Jewish community of Toronto, its character, its institutions, and to an extent its attitudes, was shaped by the events of the formative one hundred years between the 1830s and 1937. In the first full-scale study of an urban Jewish community in Canada, historian Stephen Speis…man traces the origins, settlement patterns, and often peculiar problems, encountered by the immigrant Jew during that period. The adjustment to the Canadian experience, the tensions between various community components, the strained relationship with the population at large, and the determination to preserve traditional practices and established authority contributed to a life of relative isolation for Toronto Jewry while at the same time forces were working within it to propel local Jews into Canadian society. The Jews of Toronto: A History to 1937 is a unique contribution to the documented record of Toronto s past, and an invaluable study of the development of immigrant Jewry in Canada.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Toronto's old Jewish neighbourhoods centered in the Ward and on Spadina Avenue are vividly recalled in these 18 evocative pieces by Ben Kayfetz and Stephen Speisman, both well-known chroniclers of Toronto's Jewish community. ONLY YESTERDAY features colourful stories of the Jewish community an…d its daily concerns, synagogues and social institutions, Yiddish theatres and newspapers, and an assortment of memorable characters from Mayor Nathan Phillips to anarchist Emma Goldman. Kayfetz is at his best as he explains the names of Toronto synagogues, reminisces about the city's once-formidable Jewish press, and profiles the legendary J. B. Salsberg; he also revisits the days when dis-crim-ination against minorities in everything from private clubs to the professions was both legal and socially acceptable. Speisman's articles include a masterful essay on the vanished downtown neighbourhood of St. John's Ward, a thumbnail history of the once-vibrant local Yiddish theatre, and a profile of Benjamin Brown, Toronto's first Jewish architect who designed many city landmarks. The text is enhanced with 144 photographs and illustrations, including dozens of photographs of former Toronto synagogues, many taken by Speisman and not published before. Additional photos came from the City of Toronto Archives, Ontario Jewish Archives, Archives of Ontario and private collections.
