Episode 07: Documenting Canadian Jewish History, with Richard Menkis

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

vendredi 28 novembre 2025 • Durée 35:07

Last year, two of the leading historians of Jewish Canada, Pierre Anctil and Richard Menkis, published In a "Land of Hope": Documents on the Canadian Jewish Experience, volume 1, 1627-1923, a landmark collection of primary sources. Thanks to the generous support of York University's J. Richard Shiff Chair for the Study of Canadian Jewry and the University of British Columbia's Open Access Fund, the volume's publisher, The Champlain Society, has made all of the primary sources freely available to read online.

In this episode, Richard Menkis, who teaches at the University of British Columbia, chats with host Jonathan Slater about the reader: how it came to be, its contents, uses, and its value for anyone interested in Canadian Jewish history. Menkis, the ACJS's Louis Rosenberg Distinguished Service Award winner in 2018, also discusses his circuitous path into Canadian Jewish studies, and the state of the field.

Episode 06: Jewish Canada by the Numbers, with Robert Brym

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

vendredi 24 octobre 2025 • Durée 31:17

Over the past couple of years, no scholar has tried to understand what makes Canadian Jews tick with greater energy and enthusiasm than the sociologist Robert Brym. Since publishing his groundbreaking post-October 7 report, "Jews and Israel 2024: A Survey of Canadian Attitudes and Jewish Perceptions," in the spring of 2024, Brym has gone on to produce similarly pioneering research on Jewish intermarriage and continuity; visible, Indigenous, and gender minorities within Canadian Jewry; and antisemitism in Ontario's K-12 school system, among other topics.

Brym's fascination with the sociology of Canadian Jewry dates back decades, and for his larger body of work the Association for Canadian Jewish Studies awarded him its Louis Rosenberg Distinguished Service Award in 2025. In this episode, Brym reflects on his recent findings with host Jonathan Slater while looking ahead to even more vital contributions, including a study on Jewish voting patterns in the 2025 Canadian federal election, coming out in the months ahead.

In this special episode, host Jonathan Slater passes the microphone to historian David S. Koffman, the J. Richard Shiff Chair for the Study of Canadian Jewry, for a solo reading of his excellent essay, "Two Inward Turns: Canadian Jews Since Multiculturalism, Since October 8, and Since Trump's Annexationist Threat," which appeared in the summer 2025 volume of Sources: A Journal of Jewish Ideas, published by the Shalom Hartman Institute.

Ruth and Jonathan chat about how a scholar navigates the archive of a writer, Weinzweig's fascination with biography and her distinctive authorial voice, and her legacy as a Canadian Jewish woman writer.

Episode 08: Canadian Holocaust Survivor Memoirs, with Sara R. Horowitz and Carson Phillips

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

vendredi 26 décembre 2025 • Durée 37:46

In 2025, the Azrieli Foundation's landmark Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program (HSMP) celebrated its twentieth year in existence. To mark the occasion, the journal Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes brought together six scholars, along with HSMP managing editor Arielle Berger, for a robust conversation that reflects on the educational, cultural, and moral legacy of the program.

On this episode of Tête-à-tête, host Jonathan Slater sits down with two of those scholars, Carson Phillips and Sara R. Horowitz, for a discussion about their deep involvement with the Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program over the years, and how the HSMP captures the dynamic interplay between survivor testimony, translation practices, Holocaust education, and public memory in the Canadian context.

Episode 09: Adrien Arcand and the Legacies of Canadian Fascism, with Tyler Wentzell

Saison 1

lundi 26 janvier 2026 • Durée 32:22

Political extremist, fascist agitator, marginal crank? Adrien Arcand, the Montreal-based journalist and publicist, was one of mid-twentieth-century Canada's most notorious antisemites. Known as the "Canadian Führer," Arcand has long been viewed, in scholarship and public memory, as the leading exemplar of Quebec antisemitism from the 1930s through the 1950s, and one of the greatest ontological threats to Jewish life in Canada in those decades.

But what do we actually know about Arcand's influence? Tyler Wentzell, a historian of far-right extremism in Canada, takes up this question in a forum published in the fall 2025 volume of Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes. In "Rethinking Adrien Arcand in Historical Context," Wentzell looks specifically at Arcand's reception in English-language newspapers from 1929-1940; his collaborators in the forum, the historians Pierre Anctil and Simon-Pierre Lacasse, examine the Montreal Yiddish press and postwar Quebec's Catholic hierarchy, respectively.

In this episode, Wentzell sits down with host Jonathan Slater to discuss one of the forum's guiding questions: What does a history of Arcand that looks beyond his inflammatory words and activities, to how he was received (and challenged) in French-Catholic, Jewish, and English Canadian communities, tell us about the history of hate in Canada and the ways in which diverse groups have found solidarity in confronting extremism?

Click here to read "Rethinking Adrien Arcand in Historical Context." You can also read the forum, in complete French translation as "Repenser Adrien Arcand dans son context historique," here. Also check out Wentzell's related article, "Scenes of Berlin: Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Toronto during the Summer of 1938," published in CJS / Éjc in spring 2023.
