In honour of the Jewish Public Library’s 110th anniversary on May 1st, 2024: we are launching our new podcast, re:collections.
Brought to you by the JPL Archives and Special Collections.
Our opening season of the re:collections podcast is a celebration of our Jewish leftist roots in Montreal. re:collections weaves together interviews with scholars, activists, teachers, and fellow archivists that discuss topics such as Jewish immigration to Canada, Jewish languages and culture, labour and feminist movements in the 20th century, and the diversity of political ideologies that existed within the ‘left’.
How well do you know the origins of Jews in Montreal?
Episode one takes us through the great migration, the garment industry, and the humble beginnings of the Jewish Public Library. Listen to the trailer and find it on your preferred platform here.
re:collections is a production of the Jewish Public Library Archives and Special Collections. Thank you to all of our guests: Pierre Anctil, Sam Bick, Moishe Dolman, Shannon Hodge, Aaron Krishtalka, Melanie Leavitt, Eddie Paul, and Ester Reiter.
