Good Fences do not Neccesarily Make Good Neighbors: Jews and Judaism in Canada’s Schools and Universities

Good Fences do not Neccesarily Make Good Neighbors: Jews and Judaism in Canada’s Schools and Universities

October 30, 1999 | Michael Brown
In the post-World War II years, strict separation of church and state, especially with regard to education, has been viewed as an essential ingredient of social comity in the United States. In Canada, however, that has not been so. In fact, there, religion and education have been intimately connected since colonial times, and the role of religion in the schools has constitutional sanction. In the years before World War II, the outsider status of Jews and Judaism in schools and universities was demeaning to them. Ultimately it served to reinforce group loyalty, but Jewish educational institutions did not emerge.

If a new sect have not two properties, fear it not, for it will not spread. The one is the supplanting or the opposing of authority established, for nothing is more popular than that. The other is the giving license to pleasures and a voluptuous life. Francis Bacon, Essays, "Of Vicissitude of Things"

Neo-Paganism in the Public Square and its Relevance to Judaism

October 30, 1999 | Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld
In today's fragmented society a large number of religious and secular neo-pagan expressions have emerged and are gathering strength. An increased interest in nature is a central element in many of its manifestations. Expressions of this attitude are found among neo-pagan believers, neo-Nazis and some extreme environmentalist currents.
