- History / Biographical
- In 1863 the Young Men’s Hebrew Benevolent Society (YMHBS) was formed by young unmarried men with the desire to help Jews in need. The Society also allowed the young Jewish men of Montreal to get to know each other better and to look after their social welfare needs. By 1882, the Society could not cope financially with the influx of immigrants arriving from Russia, most of who were destitute and had no means of support. The YMHBS appealed to philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsh. In 1890, Baron de Hirsch sent his first donation and in 1891, the Baron de Hirsch Institute opened and was dedicated to the purpose of “A Free School for the poor children of the Jewish faith and a home for sheltering distressed immigrants and orphans.” In 1900 Baron de Hirsch enlarged its sphere, and in recognition of the financial support received, obtained a new charter of incorporation to change its name to Baron de Hirsch Institute and Hebrew Benevolent Society of Montreal. The Institute was the pioneer charitable and philanthropic organization in Montreal. In 1917, because of the overlapping of much charitable and philanthropic work, the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies was formed with headquarters in the Baron de Hirsch Institute building. Baron de Hirsch became one of the constituent societies and continued its activities with the religious school, library, cemetery, family welfare, legal aid and Hebrew Court of Arbitration. The Federation of Jewish Philanthropies changed names three times. It became Federation of Jewish Community Services in 1951, Allied Jewish Community Services (AJCS) in 1965 and today’s Federation CJA in 1997. AJCS was under the direction of Manny Batshaw from 1967-1980). In 1974 the Jewish Family Services Social Service Centre (JFSSSC) was created and incorporated almost all the programs and human resources of the Baron de Hirsch Institute. Jewish Family Services encompassed these two organizations by providing joint structure for their complementing mandates. The JFSSSC was a publicly funded agency, working alongside the private JFS of the Baron de Hirsch Institute and primarily served the Jewish population. The JFSSSC became responsible for youth protection, young offenders, adoption and foster care (including group homes and placements for children, disabled adults and the elderly). Over the years, JFS adapted to transformations in Quebec society and developments in the field of social work. As mental health, sex education, addiction, care of the elderly and other concerns were recognized as part of the mandate of a social service provider, JFS developed programs to respond to these needs. JFS’s professional work also included the supervision of many volunteer units (for example, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and hospital volunteers). The public JFSSSC closed in 1993 in response to the Quebec government’s Bill 120 and the cessation of public funding. As a result, Jewish Family Services of the Baron de Hirsch Institute became a full-service, community-based organization.

- History / Biographical
- In 1919, the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) was organized and in anticipation of renewed Jewish immigration after the war, established the Jewish Immigrant Aid Society (JIAS). JIAS’ mandate was to lobby the government to allow Jews to immigrate to Canada. It acted on a national scale to facilitate the legal entry of Jewish immigrants to Canada and to help them adapt to and integrate into their new country. It was, and continued to be, the means of directing Jewish immigration into its proper channels. JIAS gained the confidence of the Canadian government and was considered the authorized spokesman of the Canadian Jewish community in immigration matters. After the war, immigration greatly increased and JIAS had to respond to new needs. Thousands of Jews were being received, settled and rehabilitated, many from Displaced Persons camps. A social service committee was formed in 1947 and professional social workers were hired for the first time. Joseph Kage joined JIAS as a social worker in 1947 and remained there until his retirement in 1983. Under his leadership, in 1955, JIAS’ name changed from “Society” to “Services”. During his tenure, he became national executive director and national executive vice-president. In this role, he became an authority on issues of Canadian immigration policy and was chair of the Canadian Governmental Advisory Board on Immigrant Adjustment. He was chair of the Canadian Jewish Congress National Conference on Yiddish and Yiddish culture as well as president of Montreal’s Jewish Public Library. He was also a published author and educator.

- History / Biographical
- JVS was created in 1945, immediately after the Second World War, initially with the mandate to offer Holocaust survivors housing and jobs. Dr. Jacob Tuckman was the first Executive Director of JVS Montreal. They also helped to find work for returning war vets, orphans and displaced European Jews entering Canada. The 1950’s saw a focus on young people looking for first-time work or changing careers and JVS began offering career counselling to their clients. In 1950 a sheltered workshop for people with physical or emotional disabilities was created and helped many Jewish emigrés who were unable to find or maintain meaningful jobs. This became what is currently the JEM Workshop Inc. As the Montreal community continued to receive waves of immigrants from different countries, JVS adapted to their needs and the economic realities of the times and created various programs and services that would benefit their clients and the community. After a structural change in 2003, JVS became Jewish Employment Montreal (JEM) and continues to offer the same opportunities to a wide variety of clients. In 2008 Jewish Employment Montreal merged with Jewish Family Services of the Baron De Hirsch and Jewish Immigrant Aid Services to become OMETZ.
