uebec City is so old
that even its Old City
has an older section
and a newer one. But "new"
in this case means buldings
from the 17th century that
line the narrow, curving
streets.
Below this newer section is
the place where Samuel de
Champlain established the
first permanent settlement in
Canada in 1608.
This is a city proud of its
past; visual reminders of
history include plaques,
statues of historic figures and
the stone walls that surround
the only walled city in North
America.
Vieux Quebec, or Old City,
is especially evocative of the
past. At Place Royale, the site
where Champlain started to
build his fortified residence in
1608, are restored houses,
many built in the late 1700s
by French merchants and
settlers.
There is also the monument
to Champlain; and next to it,
the bronze, granite and
glass monument honoring
UNESCO's naming of Old
Quebec as a "world heritage
treasure" — the first North
American City to join this
list.
But Old City, despite its
name, also has its colorful
and modern aspects, too. The
tourist official on a motorcy-
cle; the artists who displayed
their work along rue du
Tresor; the French bistros and
outdoor cafes; the impromptu
accordian concert — all were
evidence of the joie de vivre
ambiance which delights
tourists.
But for the Quebecois, pride
in history is paramount —
and that's true for its Jewish
residents, too. The city's only

synagogue, Beth Israel-Ohev
Shalom, a brick building at
No. 20 Cremazie street, has
been sold, but congregants
continue to hold their week-
ly Shabbat services in the
chapel until they find new
quarters.
They are actively looking
for new premises, and they in-
tend to buy, not rent, a pro-
perty. The congregation
numbers 35 families in a city
of 600,000.
Moe Rosenhek and his wife
Regina are typical of the ci-
ty's longtime Jewish
residents. Though they were
both born in New Brunswick,
they've lived here for 38
years. Their two sons Felix
and Joel were bar mitzvah
here. They import kosher
meat from Montreal; and
both have long been active in
Jewish life in this small com-
munity; he as former presi-
dent of the congregation and
chairman of the Chevra
Kadisha burial society; she in
various Jewish women's
groups, including the Na-
tional Council of Canadian
Jewish Women.
"Most of us are born Cana-
dians," Rosenhek said. But he
added that the community
also includes North Africans
from Tunisia and Morocco,
and second generation
Eastern European families.
"Lots of immigrants landed
here from Europe — and some
of them stayed right here," he
said.
There is continuity with
their rabbi, too. Rabbi Samuel
Preger, who lives in Montreal,
visits the congregation for
three days every week, as he's
been doing for 19 years.
Like most residents,
Rosenhek knows history — in
his case, both secular and
Jewish. "We go back more
than 200 years to when it was
still French-Canada," he said.
