Notes
Director of Jewish Community Services Mr. Manuel Batshaw responds to numerous questions regarding the Sephardic Jewish community from North Africa and how they were received by Montreal's community and its leaders. Bensimon's questions suggest a real schism between the two communities and how they saw each other. Batshaw confides about some of the difficulties that both sides had to overcome for a better dialogue and responds to questions about the impact of Maimonides School built exclusively through Sephardic support, the francophone element as to how it effected changes at Jewish summer camps, and other related issues. Some of the sections of the visual interview are missing though the sound is in sync.

Interview clips of Jean-Claude Lasry, psychologist and Sephardic community leader. How he came to become a leader, his thoughts on the community's relations with Anglo-Jewish leaders, the Quebec government bureaucrats, the affinity between the two francophone cultures, his rejection of a ghetto mentality due to Maimonides School, his interpretation of the fact that fifty percent of Sephardim marry outside their faith.

CKAC outs -- Lison Chocron, Raphael Mergui and Mathieu Rioux of CKAC. Bits and pieces of conversations with many responses cut off. Topics include: the founding of the Jewish community in Quebec, the work of AJCS, which founded the 23 Jewish community groups, Canadian Jewish Congress, the different histories of Ashkenazi and Oriental Jews, the working class background of most Sephardic Jews in Montreal -- this by Raphael Mergui, who contradicts Ms. Chocron's opinion of who constitutes the bulk of Oriental Jews.

Lison Chocron interview in her office in which she talks about the rise of "militantisme" in her group of activists after realizing the mistakes of the original leaders who were replaced in the Sephardic community groups, how change has become more difficult within the rigid infrastructure of government and social organizations, the relationship to francophone Quebecois and anglophone Jewish institutions, which she compares to colonial and colonized with regard to Oriental Jews, the experience of new immigrants with JIAS as an English group, given their own French Sephardic cultural biases.

Notes
Hillel Group (approximately 8-9 girls and boys in their twenties) talk of their ambivalent positions as Jews in a francophone Catholic society. They touch upon various topics, including their views on Quebecois prejudices, personal accounts of antisemitism, attempts to mix with English groups, the ease with which they are lumped into the immigrant class due to their French accents, their aspirations in learning to value the traditions, culture and customs as Sephardim as they struggle to belong to the new society into which they want to integrate. One girl draws a lengthy comparison between English and French Canadians and decides to attend a French university because she feels a greater affinity with them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Notes
In a meeting of the Association Sepharade Francophone (ASF), Dr. Jean-Claude Lasry, Elias Malka, Lison Chocron and several unidentified board members have a heated debate about their options for raising money for the ever-growing Maimonides School. They debate the political and social fallout of going their own way in fundraising and establishing their own community centre in light of their frustrations with the various existing English Jewish institutions. A fundamental shift results in a split in the board's thinking. Lasry leads the position to split, with Lison Chocron by his side, while more conservative leaders such as Malka, seem to try to reconcile themselves to the situation.
