- Notes
- Hillel Group (approximately 8-9 girls and boys in their twenties) talk of their ambivalent positions as Jews in a francophone Catholic society. They touch upon various topics, including their views on Quebecois prejudices, personal accounts of antisemitism, attempts to mix with English groups, the ease with which they are lumped into the immigrant class due to their French accents, their aspirations in learning to value the traditions, culture and customs as Sephardim as they struggle to belong to the new society into which they want to integrate. One girl draws a lengthy comparison between English and French Canadians and decides to attend a French university because she feels a greater affinity with them.
