- 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
- Mr. Stan Cytrynbaum, a Montreal lawyer, was president of the CJC Committee for Ethiopian Jewry. He was also active in the Jewish Vocational Service, AJCS (Allied Jewish Community Services, now Federation CJA), and other Jewish organizations. Along with Edit Kuper and Mark Zarecki, who participated in all aspects of the Committee, under Cytrynbaum's direction the Committee for Ethiopian Jewry raised funds to provide aid to Ethiopian Jews in Ethiopia and Israel and to help in their absorption once they emigrated to Israel or Canada. They also worked actively to enable them to emigrate. The committee disseminated information, held public meetings, arranged speaking tours of Ethiopian leaders, organized petitions and visits to Ethiopia, and sought Canadian government intervention. Cytyrnbaum was chairman of Canadian Friends of Ethiopian Jews in Israel, which, among other projects, ran the Ethiopian Jewish Heritage Centre, which trained young Ethiopians to become teachers and religious leaders within their community. Mr. Cytrynbaum is married to the former Sandra Wainberg, who was also actively involved in the plight of Ethiopian Jewry, so much so that the couple adopted a 14-year-old Ethiopian Jewish girl who lived with them and their three children for seven years. The Committee for Ethiopian Jewry was among the organizations which raised awareness in North America and Israel of the plight of Ethiopia's Jews. This helped to lead to the major airlifts of Ethiopian Jewry by the Israeli government - Operations Moses (1984) and Solomon (1991) - which succeeded in bringing approximately 8,000 and 14,000 people respectively to Israel. The CJCCEJ and its sister groups were also instrumental in aiding in the absorption of the Ethiopian Jews into Israeli society.

- History / Biographical
- This free speech case began in July 1994, when the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) brought a formal complaint against veteran journalist Doug Collins and the North Vancouver newspaper The North Shore News, for an allegedly anti-Jewish column on the "Schindler's List" motion picture, charging them with violating British Columbia's amended Human Rights Act. Specifically CJC cited a March 1994 column, "Hollywood Propaganda" (reprinted in the May-June 1994 Journal), in which Collins referred to the much-hyped movie as "Swindler's List" and "hate literature in the form of films." He also wrote that "the Jewish influence is the most powerful in Hollywood," and dismissed the fabled "six million" Holocaust figure as "nonsense." In November 1996 the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal rejected CJC's complaint against Collins and his publisher. The Tribunal found that the opinion piece, which took aim at Holocaust claims, did not violate a provincial "anti-hate" law. (Written with material from the Institute for Historical Review, http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v17/v17n1p-2_Weber.html.) The lawyer for CJC was Gerry Cuttler, who later became a CJC officer. A subsequent complaint was made by Harry Abrams (of Bnai Brith,) who won.

- Notes
- Alpha-numeric designations :CJC10/01.General note :"In 1997, at the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal history was made. Never before in this province had a member of the media been forced to defend his published remarks in front of a human rights tribunal. The CJC case against Doug Collins and the North Shore Free Press was indeed a hallmark case." (quoting Michael Silber, from the CJC Paciific Region publication Human Rights and Discriminatory Publications, 2001.).
