History / Biographical
The Montreal Young Men's Hebrew Association, a sports club, was founded in 1908 and then was granted a charter in 1910. The club rented space in various buildings to provide the facilities for athletics, courses and dances. It also ran field days, a library, social events, lectures, children's activities and a theatre group. Members were recruited, and eventually the Y bought its own building. There were several moves, culminating in the opening of the Snowdon building in 1950, and then of several other branches. A Young Women's Hebrew Association was also begun in 1910; the two merged in 1950. The Y's activities over the decades included looking after Jewish soldiers during both World Wars, the Golden Age Club (1951), summer camp (1963), a nursery, and a variety of social and educational programs and lectures. The Saidye Bronfman Centre, opened in 1967, is the Y's cultural branch, with a theatre, art and other classes, lectures and exhibitions. In recent years the Y has also been assisting Russian immigrants and serving the Sepharadi community through the Centre Communautaire Juif (1978), in addition to its athletics programs.
