    In the post war years, Montreal was the core center of Canadian Jews. Its Jewish population exceeded Toronto’s, and the educational and communal structures built by the Jewish community outdid the smaller centers in Canada. Jews in Canada frequently live in cities or suburbs. Although not as residentially segregated as the Vietnamese, often neighborhoods could be considered “Jewish neighborhoods” because of the amount of Jewish synagogues, schools and Jewish population living there. In Louis Wirth’s article The Ghetto he argued that the movement of Jewish populations to areas of second and third settlement is an attempt to improve their social status, get rid of their foreignness and alienate themselves from other Jews.…
