- 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
- 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.
