characteristics give a high in-
terest to Canadian Jewry and
significance to its birthday in
centuries.
It is interesting to antici-
pate the book which the very
creative demographer and so-
ciologist Louis Rosenberg has
been commissioned by the
Canadian Jewish Congress to
write.
He has been given leave of
absence from his social and
economic research for the Con-
gress to write this history.
Those who are familiar with his
achievements in illuminating
the facts about Canadian Jewry
