- History / Biographical
- The Vaad Ha'ir was formed in 1922 in Montreal to "organize and control the Orthodox religious life of local Jewry." It acts as a unifying umbrella organization for Jewish schools, charities and social groups, provides legal arbitration and regulates such religious legal issues as kashrut. During the 1940s the Vaad was concerned with war relief work.
