- History / Biographical
- Canadian Jewish Congress was founded in Montreal in March 1919. "The Parliament of Canadian Jewry," CJC was constituted as the democratically elected, national organizational voice of the Jewish community of Canada, serving as the community's vehicle for defence and representation. Committed to preserving and strengthening Jewish life, CJC acted on matters affecting the status, rights and welfare of the Canadian Jewish community, other Diaspora communities and the Jewish people in Israel. CJC combatted antisemitism and racism, promoted human rights, fostered interfaith, cross-cultural relations and worked towards tolerance, understanding and goodwill among all segments of society in a multicultural Canada. The organization spoke on a broad range of public policy, humanitarian and social-justice issues on the national agenda that affected the Jewish community and Canadian society at large. Through its charitable operations, CJC provided domestic and international relief aid on a non-sectarian basis, following natural disasters and to isolated Jewish communities in need. The Archives department also fell under the mandate of CJC Charities Committee. In 1999 the CJC national office relocated to Ottawa, with three regional CJC offices (Quebec, Ontario and Pacific), as well as affiliated offices across the country. CJC ceased operations in July 2011, when it was absorbed into the newly-created Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), along with the Canada-Israel Committee, the Quebec-Israel Committee, National Jewish Campus Life and the University Outreach Committee. CJC and its charitable wing were formally disbanded in late 2015. Since that time the CJCCC National Archives, renamed the Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives as of January 2016, functions under the aegis of Jewish Federations Canada UIA.
- Custodial History
- Both the national headquarters and the Quebec Jewish Congress (formerly Quebec Region, Eastern Region) offices of the Canadian Jewish Congress were located in Montreal until 1999, when most of the national office relocated to Ottawa. The National Archives is the repository of records created and received in these offices. The collection also includes materials from the National Office in Ottawa, as well as the national records of Manuel Prutschi, Bernie Farber, and other national departments based in Toronto and Vancouver. The regional offices of Canadian Jewish Congress outside Quebec are little represented in the collection, aside from correspondence from across the country and certain publications which were addressed to the national office.
- Notes
- General note: The number of paper records in this collection is subject to change, due to additions to Documentation Series Z as well as the ongoing weeding of duplications. Most of the material was created after 1919, with the exception of Series Z, which includes photocopies and a small number of originals dating back as far as 1765.

- History / Biographical
- Jewish Immigrant Aid Services was established during the first Plenary Assembly of the Canadian Jewish Congress, in 1919. The need to settle Jewish post-World War I immigrants became apparent at this time, but the community organizations established in part for this purpose, such as the Baron de Hirsch Institute, were overwhelmed by the flow of Jews into Montreal and the rest of Canada. Thus JIAS, an organization devoted solely to helping immigrants, was founded. Since 1919, Jewish immigrants to Canada have depended on this organization during their period of adjustment to this country. The JIAS intervenes with the government on behalf of current and prospective immigrants, helps to locate housing and jobs, and organizes language and citizenship classes. JIAS assists new immigrants in following the proper application procedures, provides counselling, and offers a directional service to community resources. JIAS also makes submissions to the authorities on all matters affecting Jewish immigration to Canada, jointly with the Canadian Jewish Congress. The national office moved from Montreal to Toronto in the 1990s. In 2008 the Montreal office of JIAS merged with two other Jewish social service agencies under the name Agence Ometz.

- History / Biographical
- The National Council of Jewish Women was established in the United States in 1893, to help new Jewish immigrants. A Canadian branch began in Toronto in 1897. In Montreal the Baron de Hirsch Institute covered immigrant aid at that time, and the Montreal NCJW chapter was only founded in 1918. The International Council was formed in 1912. NCJW is dedicated to furthering human welfare in the Jewish and general community, locally, nationally, and internationally. They do and did so through scholarships, summer camps, libraries, aiding immigrants, volunteer work, pre-and post-war refugee aid, gerontology research, services to the elderly, support of the Golden Age Association, shipments of play and school materials to Israel and North Africa, lobbying for equal pay and other human rights bills, and opening a shelter for battered Jewish women. Their members across Canada and the world both fundraise and volunteer.The National office of NCJW Canada moved from Montreal to Toronto in the mid-1950s before settling in Winnipeg in the early 1990s where it remained until 2015.

- History / Biographical
- The SSBFF was approached by the Plum Coulee centenary committee in 2001, as Saidye Bronfman was born there to a family that would become well-known in the area. Her father, Samuel Rosner, settled in Plum Coulee in the late 19th century, opening a store and serving as mayor before relocating his family to Winnipeg in 1908, where Saidye later met Samuel Bronfman. The centenary committee reached out to the SSBFF to request support for the Pathways 2000 project, which aimed to create heritage and recreational amenities in the town. With their support, the community established the Saidye Rosner Bronfman Heritage and Recreational Park.

- History / Biographical
- The Saidye Bronfman Award for Excellence in the Crafts was founded in 1977 by Saidye's children Minda de Gunzberg, Phyllis Lambert, Edgar Bronfman, and Charles Bronfman in honour of her eightieth birthday. The program ran successfully for thirty years, filling a niche for funding Canadian craft (i.e. pottery, furniture making, textiles, glassblowing) as an art form and encouraging a recognition not previously seen in Canadian galleries and museums. The SSBFF collaborated with the Canadian Crafts Council (Canada Council) to administer the competition and select the recipients. In 1997, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Canadian Museum of History took over the responsibility, and in 2007, the Saidye Bronfman Award was transferred to the Canada Council's Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- Black-and-white footage of Middle East countries such as Algeria, Egypt and Morocco - some optical sound - to demonstrate their colonial past and modernization under the various invading countries. History of the region. Choppy at best. Perhaps from NFB archives (?) of films.

- Notes
- While sitting around a table, four young Moroccan Jewish men at a youth centre talk about their father's progress in finding work and recount their own frustrations adapting to the education system, their misdeeds as gesture of rebellion leading to a collective theft. The last few shots of them are outside as they walk away at night on the street. These are the delinquents referred to in canister P-0160-36. This is a sequence referring to Protestant, rather than francophone, schooling at Northmount, though it is missing in the out-takes we have.

- Notes
- On the eve of the sixth anniversary of the Centre communautaire juif (CCJ) [the label on the film gives the reference]. A brief introduction by Michel Chocron, president of the Sephardic Community, leads to a much lengthier talk by James Dahan (?), director of the CCJ, who helps explain the two francophone groups, the District and the Y, and how they fused into one. He explains the no-smoking policy begun at Le District and continued at the Y group. Sitting among other groups at the meeting, Mr. Dahan gives elaborate and convoluted explanations of the bureaucratic structure that has helped to build the CCJ, his leadership and its pressures, and the role he plays in regard to various groups. Among the initial festivities in the first four minutes, a giant fake cake is brought out and the congregation sings Happy Birthday.

- A meeting of the Commission des écoles catholiques de Montréal (CECM), where speakers around a conference table include Michel Chocron. Dr. Jean-Claude Lasry, Elias Malka, Dr. Gerard Barbeau of the CECM, and three other unidentified men to discuss new building space for the growing number (375) of francophone Sephardic Jewish students newly enrolled. Dr. Barbeau mentions what has already been provided for the Jewish school in terms of facilities and furniture by the Catholic School Board. Dr. Lasry gives a defence of the school's needs, but clip is shortened.
