History / Biographical
Alice Postner (Dec. 20 1905 - April 16 1967) was a Montreal pianist, composer and music teacher. Born in Montreal, she attended the Montreal Pianoforte School of Music, then MacDonald College to be trained as a teacher. While teaching, Mrs. Postner gave lessons in piano and music theory from her home. At age 35, she attended McGill for a Bachelor of Music, graduating in 1957 and went on to teach Conservatorium of Music at the University. In the late 1940's Mrs. Postner began composing her own choral music. In the 1950's her compositions were published. Alice Postner was married to Jacob Postner with whom she had a son and daughter.

Notes
Lison Chocron and Raphael Mergui talk with Matthias Rioux on CKAC call-in radio show Quebec Aujourd'hui. Alternating with Ms. Chocron's fellow male activists/organizers of Sephardic origin as they critique the pros and cons of doing the show. Topics of discussion include: francophone Jews in Quebec, their failure to support Bill 22, Jewish stereotypes in Quebec presented by Rioux, minority status, marriage patterns of Sephardic Jews versus English Jews in Quebec, JIAS, Canadian Jewish Congress, and various activities and goals of francophone Jewish organizations, a short history of the first Jews to Quebec and their dilemma between Catholic and Protestant groups, social problems of adaptation and assimilation to the existing Jewish establishment and Quebec integration.

Notes
A group of 7 to 8 Moroccan Jewish men at Casa Pedro discuss the pros and cons of various aspects of their experiences in trying to integrate into Quebec society. Much joking. Some, more integrated than others, explain their firsthand accounts. They touch upon the taboo of intermarriage, the specific problems of being seen as Jews versus as Moroccans, the need to find a sense of belonging, comparisons with Ontario's Sephardic Jews who blended in with the English, and some unanswered questions about their place in Quebec, should it become independent. The sequence ends with their playing a video game and walking as a group down a street in the evening. Disappointing both in content and general comprehension, but one or two revealing details can be assumed from this collection of representative Moroccan men.

Notes
1C: Various shopkeepers recount the reasons they are in Canada, the amount of time since their arrival, and their background in several takes before their shop windows. They are: Jacques Elharrar (?) of Boucherie Select (kosher), six years in Canada, 35 years old, occupation butcher; George Cohen, optician, ten years in Canada; Nissim Loeub of Loueb Jewelry and Watches, three years in Canada though he holds the honour of working for the Palace of Morocco in crafting swords for the king -- he holds an example of his craftsmanship - worked as a jeweller since 1935; Maurice Cohen, men's barber, ten years in Canada; Elefair (?) David, owner of a travel agency and combination women's hair salon for three years; Kahone Salomon, "epicier" in front of his shop, Market Kahone, specializing in Moroccan spices for eight years. 2C: Four merchants discuss how long they have been here and why they like Canada, how long they have had their shops, and their appreciation of Canada's liberty compared to their Moroccan past. Simplest and clearest statements of shop owners. Most of the other material loses sync sound, rambling, not particularly articulate.

Reels marked Mme. Amzallag -- suggests either the counsellor or the client -- a woman with a hat seen from the back confusedly recounts her Moroccan marriage and subsequent separation after being in Canada for ten years with two children. Her social values as a Moroccan and those of Quebec culture have presumably come into conflict.

Three different shelters for older Sephardic Jewish males -- they screw in bolts in one factory -- various sync shots about 7 min. A 64-year-old former businessman wearing a hair net in a packing company speaks of Canada's climate compared to his past in Cairo, Egypt. At 11 minutes, we go to another factory with man at pressing machine. Incomplete sequence.

Notes
Beautiful Moroccan chanting and Hebrew prayers of the minyan gathered for the circumcision. The baby is brought out in the customary long robe by the father and passed to the mohel, the man who will perform the procedure. As prayers continue, the camera zooms in on the tiny penis being prepared. Prayers continue without image and resume with Jacques Bensimon asking a French-Canadian woman for her impressions. Then people eating from a long table of food. Cutaway reel shows the mohel sterilizing his instruments, close-up of the baby, various guests and a bleached-blond woman, presumably the mother, feeding a baby bottle of milk to calm the child. The whole sequence is choppy. More footage of waiting guests, then leaving.
