History / Biographical
From a Yiddish fundraising pamphlet, circa 1934. In 1863, the Young Men's Hebrew Benevolent Society (YMHBS), later the Baron de Hirsch Institute (BHI), was formed. It helped new immigrants, ran a school, and provided relief services to the Jewish community. Other such organizations and institutions, often in need of money, were also in existence, so in 1916 a single agency was formed to oversee all fundraising for these groups: the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies. It later was renamed the Federation of Jewish Community Services (1951), then Allied Jewish Community Services (AJCS, 1965). In 1992 the name was changed to Federation CJA. Included within this social and community services agency are the Jewish Public Library, the YM-YWHA, Golden Age Association, Jewish Immigrant Aid Society (JIAS), and the Jewish General Hospital

History / Biographical
The Federation (or Farband) of Polish Jews of Canada was established in 1933 in Montreal, across Canada, and in other Western nations. Together with its women's auxiliary, "Ezra", its main efforts were war-related. Before World War II, funds were raised for general aid to Poland's Jews. During and after the war, the Federation sent money and clothing to refugees, brought war orphans to Canada, monitored Canadians' Polish relatives, searched for such relatives (with Canadian Jewish Congress, the Joint Distribution Committee and ORT), tried to save intellectuals and rabbis, and cared for refugee children. Immigrants were helped to integrate, and those Jews interned in Canada by the British were also supported. A flow of information was maintained through ties with international organizations and the Polish consulates and government. The Federation also established a Moess Chittin Fund.

History / Biographical
Project Genesis is a storefront community service organization in the Cote des Neiges-Snowdon area of Montreal. Begun in 1976 by social worker Jim Torczyner, its basic aim was to show the area's disadvantaged citizens how to organize themselves to secure their rights. It dispenses free information, legal advice and assistance. Over the years it has also provided day care, language courses, workshops, and a cafeteria; distributed food baskets; and held a crime prevention program. Volunteers inform area residents about Project Genesis services, discuss community concerns, and provide information, referral and advocacy services. The organization's outreach also serves to combat the effects of poverty and to help elderly residents remain autonomous. Run by staff and trained volunteers, Project Genesis is funded by Federation CJA (formerly Allied Jewish Community Services), government grants, and donations. It is known for its yearly multicultural street festival.

Originally known as the Grand Lodge (established in 1923), the Geulah Lodge was founded as a result of a decision, adopted at the Zionist Organization Convention of 1922 in Ottawa, to organize the Zionist Order Habonim. It became the Geulah Lodge in 1927 and merged with the Menorah Lodge in 1968 (which was founded in 1918 as part of Young Judea and became a lodge in 1926). The group raised money for the Jewish National Fund, United Israel Appeal and Israel Bonds. It ran social activities and a summer camp and sent students to Israel through its scholarship program.

The Histadrut was established in 1920 in Israel, and in Canada (with a Montreal branch) in 1943. The Canadian Histadrut raises funds for the Israeli-run programs and services. These include the settling and integration of new immigrants (and the sending of Canadian goods to them), the building and running of AMAL trade schools, children's villages, libraries, sports and cultural centres (mostly for youth), educational programs, scholarships and the promotion of the arts. The Histadrut's Kupat Holim deals with Israelis' health and welfare through retirement communities, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and nursing schools. The Histadrut also looks after religious needs (sending Torah scrolls to communities, for example), and operates an Afro-Asian Institute, where people from developing countries can study in Israel. Montreal organizations, including trade unions, businessmen's councils, and landsmanschaften, all raise funds for the Histadrut.

This is achieved through educational programming, its summer camps, and a youth workshop, where students spend a year studying and working on a kibbutz. Habonim established over twenty kibbutzim in Israel, and its members have participated in such diverse activities as smuggling arms to the Hagannah to being involved in community events such as the "March to Jerusalem."

History / Biographical
The Jewish Colonization Association (JCA, in Yiddish ICA) was created in 1891 by the Baron Maurice de Hirsch. Its aim was to facilitate the mass emigration of Jews from Russia and other Eastern European countries by settling them in agricultural colonies on lands purchased by the committee, particularly in North and South America. A Canadian committee of the JCA was established in November 1906 to assist in the settlement of the thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing Russia and other European countries and to oversee the development of all the JCA settlements in the country. Colonies were established prior to 1906 throughout the west and in Quebec. These colonies included: in Saskatchewan - Hirsch (1892), Qu'Appelle or Lipton (1901), Cupar, near Regina (1901), Edenbridge east of Prince Albert (1906), and Sonnenfeld, west of Estevan (1906); in Manitoba - Bender Hamlet or Narcisse, north of Winnipeg (1903); in Quebec - La Macaza (1904) and Ste-Sophie (1904), both north of Montreal; and Trochu (1906) and Rumsey (1906), halfway between Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta. After the establishment of the Canadian committee, the JCA founded several others, including: Pine Ridge (1907), not far from Winnipeg; Eyre (1910), near Alsask in Saskatchewan, and Montefiore (1911), Alberta, on the western border between Alberta and Saskatchewan near Alsask in Saskatchewan; Bird's Hill (1911), east of Winnipeg; Camper or New Hirsch (1911), 150 kilometres north of Winnipeg; and Rosetown (1911), near the town of the same name in Saskatchewan. Economic factors, notably the Great Depression, led to the dissolution of all the Western colonies by the end of World War II. Thereafter concentrating its work in the East, the Canadian JCA purchased farms or made loans to farmers in Ontario and Quebec: the Niagara Peninsula, the regions of Brantville-Woodstock, Spencerville-Kemptville, and Beamsville in Ontario, and Saint-Hyacinthe, Saint-Damase, Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Frelighsburg, and Clarenceville, in Quebec. The JCA Canadian Committee made no more loans after 1970 and ceased all legal existence in 1978. The JCA deposited the major part of its papers at the National Archives of the Canadian Jewish Congress in 1978, and the remainder of its documents (the "S" collection) there in 1989.

History / Biographical
In 1929, a committee was formed in Montreal to establish a Jewish hospital. The Jewish General Hospital, an outgrowth of the Herzl Dispensary, was completed in 1934. Its goals were to provide up-to-date, non-sectarian hospital care, but at the same time featuring a kosher kitchen, Jewish atmosphere, and concern for the health care of the city's Jewish citizens (especially the poor). It expanded over the decades, eventually incorporated the Herzl Clinic, and has become a teaching hospital as well.

History / Biographical
The Jewish People's Schools of Montreal was created by members or sympathizers of the Poale Zion (Labour Zionist) movement in 1914. They wanted to provide Montreal's Jewish school children with a curriculum of Hebrew (h), Yiddish (y), Zionism, Jewish history, literature and culture and a "modified program of teaching about religion." Also stressed were Jewish and world social issues along with regular secular studies. It has moved locations several times over the decades and changed from providing afternoon and evening classes to Montreal's first Hebrew kindergarten and day school. In 1971, the "Folk Shule" merged with the Peretz Schools and became known as the Jewish People's and Peretz Schools (JPPS) at the elementary level. In 1972 the Bialik High School was founded.

History / Biographical
The Jewish Peretz Schools, originally called the National Radical School, was founded in Montreal in 1913. The curriculum and mandate of the school were similar to those of the Folk Shule (Jewish People's Schools), providing Yiddish and Hebrew studies, regular secular studies, including progress, science, justice and social issues, and a Jewish education of language, literature, history and folklore. The differences were in the added emphasis on Yiddish and on Jewish culture as opposed to religion. Loyalty to Israel and to the Jewish people was also stressed. The school began as afternoon and evening classes, then expanded to a day school (1940), nursery (1959) and a high school. The school changed locations several times and nearly closed in the 1950s due to financial difficulties. It merged with the Jewish People's Schools in 1971.

The Jewish Public Library was the brainchild of R. Brainin and Y. Kaufman, who founded it in 1914 in Montreal. It has grown and developed over the decades from a collection that was 50% Yiddish to a large selection of books in four languages, audio-visual materials, archives, a children's library, and wide-ranging recreational activities. It is non-sectarian, has (in addition to the main branch) a branch in Chomedey, and has 75% of its collection relating to Judaica. It has moved several times. Its aim is to foster and preserve Jewish culture and literature. It is the largest Jewish library in Canada.
