History / Biographical
Akiva School is a private Montreal Jewish day school founded in 1968 by Rabbi Dr. David Hartman and a group of parents. The school's original location was at the Snowden YM-YWHA, located on the corner of Westbury and Cote Ste-Catherine. After moving from its Snowden location to the Beth El Synagogue in Town of Mount Royal, the school experienced several years of declining enrollment and budgetary restraints. In 1988, the school moved again, this time to the school building attached to the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue. A more central location, coupled with new leadership, stabilized the school and rapid growth soon followed. The school was founded on a vision of being a community that "inspires lifelong learning, religious growth, an enduring connection to the Jewish people and the State of Israel, and a commitment to making the world a better place." Akiva school offers education from kindergarten to grade six, following provincial curriculum as well as Judaic Studies (including Hebrew). A Section Francaise was added to the school to accomodate students who did not meet provincial elgibility requirements for an English school certificate. As of 2009, the school had an enrollment of 350 students.

History / Biographical
The Education Resource Centre (ERC), was initiated by the joint Canadian Jewish Congress-Allied Jewish Community Services-Canadian Zionist Federation Education Committee in 1974 as a teachers’ centre. Its initial policies and directions were begun under the guidance of the Association of Principals of Jewish Schools (known at the time as the Principals’ Council). In October 1975, the ERC became a service of the Jewish Education Council. Its operation was entrusted to a management committee consisting of lay leaders, principals and teachers. Minimum part-time staff was engaged and the ERC began regular service to schools from its one-room facility at the Chevra Kadisha B’nai Jacob Synagogue on Clanranald Avenue. During its first three months of operation there were fewer than 200 visitors to the Centre. The Centre was then moved to a suite on the second floor of Cummings House with the Jewish Education Council of Greater Montreal. It contained a respectable resource library, an audio-visual and arts and crafts room, a teachers’ den, seminar room, a publication office, cataloguing room, project office and administrative offices. A sound studio and video centre were also developed. The proximity of the office to the Jewish Public Library also allowed for easy access to resources in that institution. The Canadian Zionist Federation provided additional budget. Both federal and provincial governments also provided funding for major curriculum development projects as well as for in-service professional seminars and workshops. Teachers, program personnel of community organizations, and students visited the Centre regularly. ERC staff participated in planning a wide range of community programs related to Jewish education in its broadest sense. The fundamental purpose of the Education Resource Centre was the enhancement of the quality of Jewish education, both formal and informal. Besides serving as a source for borrowing educational material and audio-visual equipment and for curriculum development, the ERC encouraged professional growth of Jewish educators through specialized workshops, in-service university credit courses, and individual and group consultation for creative planning. In 2010, the ERC was closed and the resources dismantled. The closure was part of community-wide efforts to restructure resources, cut down on duplication of services and also a means of meeting the changing educational needs of Jewish schools of Montreal.

History / Biographical
Jacob (Yaakov) Zipper was born Yaakov Shtern in 1900 in Szczerbreszyn, Poland and raised in Tyszowce, Poland. Zipper, son of a Hassidic rabbi, received a traditional heder education in Hebrew and Yiddish. He chose, however, to move away from the world in which he was raised and began teaching school in the newly formed secular schools. Zipper was also an active member of the Labour Zionist movement, both in Poland and later in Canada. After World War I ended, Zipper worked as an adult education instructor in Jewish villages in Poland. Because of his involvement in what was considered left-wing radicalism, Zipper changed his last name from Shtern to Zipper; the last name of the woman who protected him from arrest and who would later become his mother-in-law. Upon arriving in Montreal in 1925, Zipper found himself, as all recent immigrants, engulfed by his strange new surroundings. True to his lifelong dedication to education, Zipper quickly carved out a role in the Jewish community particularly in the promotion of Yiddish culture. Zipper began writing Hassidic stories for the Keneder Odler and eventually found work as a teacher at the Yiddish secularist Jewish Peretz School. Zipper served as principal of the school from 1928-1971. Zipper's contributions to Yiddish literature also extended to assisting his various family members in immigrating to Canada. In 1927, Zipper sponsored his younger brother and poet Sholem Shtern. In 1933 Zipper brought his younger sister Shifrah to Canada. She also became an author and married poet Sholem Krishtalka. Shifrah Shtern's son Aaron became the first Canadian-born Yiddish poet to publish in Canada when a volume of his poetry was printed to celebrate his bar mitzvah. Jacob Zipper was an active participant and leader in the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Jewish Public Library, the Jewish National Writers' Alliance and the Jewish Writers' Association. His writing captures the spirit of community, its tradition and its hold over memory.

History / Biographical
The Jewish People’s Schools & Peretz Schools (JPPS) was formed through the merger of the two schools in 1971. At the time of the merger, the Jewish People’s Schools student population was 865, while the Jewish Peretz Schools was 260. The merger amalgamated all aspects of the schools including budget, finance, pensions, administration, education goals and philosophy. The union of the schools was a difficult process. One of the more pressing needs for the merger was the financial difficulties of the Jewish Peretz Schools, including the inability to honour teachers’ wages and a debt totalling $250,000. The education goals and philosophy of JPPS includes the need to instil in students the importance of a Jewish studies program (the study of Yiddish and Hebrew, and Jewish history); an attachment and a sense of responsibility to the State of Israel and its people; and a sense of general social justice. Once the schools were united, JPPS was able to pursue the goal of creating a day high school. Bialik High School was founded in 1972. In 1984, Bialik High School was moved to 6500 Kildare Road, where it is currently located. This school system as a whole is commonly known as JPPS-Bialik. By 1984, JPPS elementary consisted of two campuses: Van Horne and Cote St-Luc. In 2004, JPPS/Bialik made the controversial move to merge these two elementary campuses. The pressure to merge was partially due to an influx of immigrants from the former Soviet Union (who generally could not speak English or French), adding considerable strain to the Cote St-Luc campus. As a result, the Cote St-Luc location was closed. JPPS elementary is now located at 5170 Van Horne Avenue. That same year, the JPPS celebrated its 90th anniversary. The JPPS is funded by enrolment tuition and fees, provincial government grants, the Federation CJA, fundraising campaigns, and private contributions. Important student events organized by the JPPS consist of the JPPS Music Festival, the Concert Society’s Annual Concert, and the Bialik Festival of the Arts and the organization of student trips to Israel. JPPS also runs a Children's Centre, located at 7950 Wavell Road.

History / Biographical
The United Talmud Torahs were founded in 1896. Rabbi A.M. Ashinsky established the first Talmud Torah class on 130 Cadieux St. In 1903 the Talmud Torah was housed in its own building at 140 St. Urbain street, when it came under the directorship of Rabbi Hirsch Cohen. In 1912 the school admitted girls and was incorporated under the name of "The Hebrew Free School of Montreal". In 1917 the language of instruction changed from Yiddish to Hebrew. Several Hewbrew schools, which were spread over the city of Montreal were amalgamated in 1917 as The United Talmud Torahs. In 1930 the building on St. Joseph Blvd. was erected and in 1935 The United Talmud Torahs became a day school. Since 1970 The French language is a significant language of instruction. At present the United Talmud Torahs consist of elementary school and Herzliah High Schools with branched in Snowdon and St. Laurent.
