Description
"Northern Lights: A Canadian Jewish History, chronicles the history of Canadian Jewry, offering a lens into Jewish Canada’s yesterday and peeking into tomorrow. It offers current thoughts about what Jewish Canadians have been doing throughout the community’s history, what they have contributed to Canada, and what Canada has given to them. Top commentators tell large stories in small spaces for historical overview and personal insight in one swoop. Photographs and news clippings paint a Canadian Jewish mural that is wide, deep, and fascinating. In tapping noted and accomplished Canadian writers and journalists from diverse fields and Canadian geographies, Northern Lights: A Canadian Jewish History presents a set of snapshots of our people’s history in this country, an interpretation of Canadian Jewish narrative through the lens of its most important publication. It is a deep and heartfelt study of the people, events, and achievements that have helped to make the Canadian Jewish community what it is today. Since 1960, the Canadian Jewish News (CJN) has documented the story of Jewish Canada, winning international awards and outflanking larger more corporate publications. The CJN has developed one of the longest digital reaches of any Jewish community periodical while still annually publishing 100 weekly issues of the newspaper in hard copy. We commissioned new essays from Canadian Jewish writers who are experts in their fields. Their range of focus takes in the social and political achievements of Jewish citizens, the cultural and intellectual footprints of Jewish thinkers and artists, and the beautiful partnership that exists between Jews and this country. This collection is a collaboration between the CJN and The Lola Stein Institute."--
