History / Biographical
The United Jewish Teachers Seminary of Canada, located in Montreal, was established in 1949 by the merger of two seminaries (both founded in 1946). Its aim was to train Canadian-born Jewish teachers properly, so that they in turn could provide their Canadian students with a relevant Jewish education. European or Israeli-born teachers, to do likewise, would at least be trained in Canada. Subsidized for many years by the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Seminary offered classes in Yiddish and Hebrew language and literature, Bible, Jewish history and religion, as well as education courses. It provided student loans, asked no tuition, and tried to place its students after graduation. With teachers such as S. Dunsky, M. Ravich, S. Wiseman, and L. Tencer, the Seminary produced such future educators as D. August, L. Cohen, H. Eliashiv, Z. Ettinger and N. Wilchesky.
