It took centuries of anti-semitism and exclusion before Montreal Jews became aware that they truly belonged to a society like no other. Not only did they form the "third solitude", but they were sandwiched in between the other two along St. Laurent Blvd, the metropolis's main street. It is there that they took up residence, worked relentlessly in the "schmata" industry and founded their own institutions, shops and places of worship. Judaism in Quebec is distinct from that found in other parts of North America. As a non-Jew, I have great admiration for our Jewish friends' contribution to our city. Come discover with me, in the historic Jewish neighbourhood along St-Laurent Blvd. (the "Main"), all of their tenacity, warmth and originality. In addition, you'll get acquainted with some real characters who played essential roles in the community. Shalom!
The tour focuses on the 1880-1950 period, therefore, takes you along St. Laurent Blvd. and adjacent streets. Depending on the duration and pace you have chosen, you will see some or all of the following: - Former site of the Hebrew Maternity Hospital - Louis Reitman Park - Former site of the Warshaw Supermarket - Schwartz's Deli - Leonard Cohen mural - Bagg Street Shul, oldest living synagogue in the city - Former sites of other synagogues We'll wander into the Mile End neighbourhood and have a bagel tasting experience you won't soon forget.
