Quebec Jews Face Dilemma

TORONTO (JTA) — A
Canadian Jewish research
expert has asserted that too
many members of the lead-
ership of the Quebec Jewish
community "are char-
acterized by community
members" as "sitting on
packed .suitcases" as their
response to the dilemma of
living in an increasingly
French-speaking province.
Michael D. Yarosky, di-
rector general of the Jewish
Community Research Insti-
tute of Montreal, described
the problem at the 81st an-
nual meeting of the Confer-
ence of Jewish Communal
Service. -
Ie said Quebec Jews,
,..,rticularly in Montreal,
had become one of the
strongest groups on the con-
tinent, -identifying in the
past with the French Cana-
dian struggle and who now,
in the light of the threat of
separation from English
Canada, must face a new
reality.
He said Jews in Quebec
are being regarded in the
same light as English
Canadians and, for the
majority of the Quebec

Jews who do not wish to
leave, the alternative is to
learn to survive in it. He
said they are, in effect,
being challenged to
"adapt again."
Though there is no anti-
Semitism and the commu-
nity is strongly bi-lingual,
as Quebec becomes- more
nationalistic, he said, great
isolation might develop for
Quebec Jews unless the
Quebec government of Rene
Levesque — which is not
highly-backed by. Quebec
Jews — can be brought to
understand the gains of
supporting Jewish inter-
ests.
Yarosky said he did not
mean to either defend or at-
tack the Quebec govern-
ment and that what he did
intend to underscore was
that the Jewish community
in Montreal "must come to
grips with demanding
realities." He said many of
the dilemmas for Quebec
Jews will continue whether
the provincial government
wins or loses in the upcom-
ing referendum on separa
tion.
He declared that the

Foundation Grant Benefits
Holocaust Program Models

-

NEW YORK — To in-
crease knowledge about the
Holocaust among Jewish
teenagers and pre-teens,
the Memorial Foundation
for Jewish Culture has
awarded a grant of $20,000
to the National Jewish Wel-
fare Board and the Ameri-
can Association for Jewish
Education to develop in-
novative Holocaust pro-
gram models in informal
Jewish settings.
Guidelines for the project
were set forth by Prof.
Simob N. Herman of He-
brew University in a work-
ing paper prepared for the
Commission on the
Holocaust of the Memorial
Foundation for Jewish Cul-
ture.
Five different program
models will be tested this
summer at a like number of
Jewish communal camps
which, according to Project
Director Leonard-Rubin of
JWB, "represent a wide
spectrum of approaches to
Jewish camping within the
organized Jewish commu-
nity."
The program models
will be evaluated this fall.
"The fruits of the first
year's experience in the
Jewish camps will be
used in developing
aust program re-
,urces for use in winter
programs of Jewish
community centers,
synagogue and temple
youth groups and other
Jewish youth-serving
bodies," Rubin said.
"These program re-
sources will include model
Holocaust observances and
retreat-type programs as
well as training modalities
geared to help professionals
use opportunities for mean-
ingful dialogue with teens
in informal situations. Four
or more demonstration

projects will be conducted
and monitored during the
spring and fall of 1980.
"The second year of the
project will also be used to
begin national distribution
of the resources developed
and tested during our sum-
mer camp demonstration
projects. This will be a part
of the training of camp
counselors and adminis-
trators. This training will
be expanded during Phase
III of the project in 1981 and
1982."

leaders of Montreal's major
Jewish institutions have
not been able to provide
risk-taking, direction- -
providing decisions and —
"most impqrtant" — unable
to demonitrate a sense of
confidence in themselves
and in the future of the
community. He said, "Too
many members of the lead-
ership are characterized by
community members as 'sit-
ting on packed suitcases.' "
He expressed the opin-
ion that, at the moment,
the Levesque govern-
ment is trying too hard to
persuade Quebec Jews to
accept the goal of
separatism, adding, "We
are not used to being
made to feel so welcome." -
He mentioned a recent
address by the Quebec
Minister of Cultural Affairs
promoting ties between
Quebec and Israel. The offi-
cial said, "It is important
that the Jewish community
in Quebec integrate itself
into this country as a com-
munity and that it considers
itself rightfully and com-
pletely at home here."
