A note from
the Executive Director Michael Crelinsten
M
ay I begin by taking note of
the JPL’s leadership. On both the
professional and lay levels, I find
myself surrounded and supported by a remarkable array of talent and commitment. This is,
clearly, the village that, it has so often been
said, it takes.
As Eva mentioned, in her note for the Fall
2011 edition of this booklet, I was quite
struck by the range and quality of the programme offerings at the Library. That very
much remains the case. From a movie about
Sholem Aleichem to the book launch of Martin
Fletcher’s The List to a conference on Les
Juifs Sépharades au Québec to the remarkable work of The Jewish Genealogical Society,
the Library continues to bring our community
together as a unique “third space.” It is this,
our long and well established role as a cultural gathering place, to which other Libraries
in North America aspire.
Building on that history, we will increasingly
collaborate with our sister organizations – The
Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, The Segal
Centre for the Performing Arts, La Communuaté
Sepharade du Québec and the JCC – as the
cultural pillars of our community. If Federation
CJA’s vision for our community, as expressed in
Imagine 2020, is to be realized, then we must
understand the necessity for serious investment in arts, culture, learning and memory. This
represents a sustaining and celebration of our
culture and heritage, our history and identity. It
is an investment in the strategic capacity of our
community going forward.
It has been observed that the only constant is
change. I am honoured and pleased to be on
the road with you all as we embark on this leg
of the adventure that is the exceptional history
of this institution.
Un commentaire
du directeur général Michael Crelinsten
C
ommençons par quelques mots sur
les dirigeants de la Bibliothèque publique juive. J’ai l’immense privilège
d’être entouré d’un talent et d’un dévouement
impressionnants, au niveau tant laïque que professionnel. Ceci est vraiment le village ideal.
Comme mentionné par Eva dans l’introduction
du livret des programmes d’automne 2011,
j’ai été frappé par la diversité et la qualité des
programmes offerts à la Bibliothèque. Rien
n’a changé. Du film sur Sholem Aleichem au
lancement du livre de Martin Fletcher, “The
List”, en passant par la conférence sur Les juifs
sépharades au Québec, sans oublier le travail
de la Société généalogique juive, la Bibliothèque
constitue un troisième trait d’union exceptionnel
pour notre communauté. C’est à ce rôle bien
établi de centre culturel qu’aspirent d’autres
bibliothèques en Amérique du Nord.
Nous appuyant sur cette histoire, nous avons
de plus en plus assumé, en collaboration avec
d’autres organisations – Le Centre commémoratif
de l’Holocauste à Montréal, le Centre Segal des
Arts de la scène, la Communauté Sépharade
du Québec et le Centre communautaire juif – le
rôle de pilier culturel de notre communauté.
Pour que la vision de Federation CJA, présentée
dans “Imaginez 2020”, devienne réalité, nous
devons investir sérieusement dans les arts, la
culture, l’érudition et la préservation du passé.
Ce faisant, nous pourrons maintenir et célébrer
notre culture et notre patrimoine, notre histoire
et notre identité. C’est un investissement dans
la capacité stratégique de notre communauté
d’aller de l’avant.
Il est dit que le changement est la seule constante.
C’est un honneur et un plaisir de poursuivre la
route en votre compagnie alors que nous nous
lançons dans cette étape de l’aventure qu’est
l’histoire exceptionnelle de cette institution.
This brochure is made possible thanks to the generosity of:

After nearly a century, we remain unique among Montreal’s – and
the world’s – Jewish institutions. An internationally-recognized
Judaica resource, we also meet the diverse informational, educational
and recreational needs of Montrealers. With our Main Library,
Children’s Library, Archives, Multimedia Centre and Cultural
Programmes for adults and children, we connect our community to
the world …while bringing the world to our community.
The Main Library
Whether you’re a recreational reader or a focused scholar, you’ll find what you’re looking for among over 150,000 items in English, French, Hebrew, Yiddish and Russian.
Like any great public library, we carry the latest fiction and non-fiction bestsellers,
first-run DVDs, major newspapers and magazines, and music and audiobook CDs.
Our Judaica holdings – North America’s largest circulating collection – rival those of
major academic institutions.
In addition, we maintain special collections on Montreal and Canadian Jewry, Yizkor
(Memorial) books of pre-Holocaust Jewish communities, sheet music and photographic archives, German-language Judaica, selections from Irving Layton’s personal
library and other rarities.
If you can’t visit us, let us visit you: our friendly Books-on-Wheels volunteers can bring
the Library to your door*. Our members can also use our Interlibrary Loan service to
obtain books from elsewhere, often for free or a minimal charge.
* Call (514) 345-2627, ext. 3003 for more information.
You can discover more about us online, where you can browse our catalogue and New Items list, as well as reserve books and track your library account. www.jewishpubliclibrary.org
The Norman Berman Children’s Library
Our mascot, Shelley the Turtle, might move in little steps…but she still can hardly wait
to welcome you and your little and not-so-little ones to our library!
With over 40,000 books, magazines, DVDs, kits and CDs, we take our young patrons
to heart, while keeping their parents, grandparents and caregivers in mind. Aside from
those classic favourites from your childhood – and today’s soon-to-be classics – we
supplement the school curriculum with extensive collections that meet the information and project needs of young students. Children and families also enjoy the
comprehensive collection of materials dealing with Jewish holidays, life and history, and
the exciting world of storytelling and children's literature.
We have a variety of programmes and activities for babies, toddlers and children
up to 14 years of age. Pre-School story times and music, author visits, and motherdaughter book review clubs are just a sample of what’s happening at any given time.
You will find a detailed listing of all children’s programmes on pages 27 to 30.
A book for your child – every month, for free!
Brought to you by the Jewish Public Library.
As part of the community wide GEN J Initiative, The PJ Library® (“PJ” for pajama) is
a programme seeking to engage Jewish families in Jewish life. Each participating child
receives an age-appropriate Jewish book or CD every month, free of charge. The aim
is to help families explore core values of Judaism and pass them on to their children.
The book and music list was chosen by foremost early-childhood experts. All books
come with guides to help families use the selection in their homes. The list includes a
wide array of themes such as Jewish holidays, folktales and Jewish family life.
Montreal's programme, for children between 6 months and 5½ years old, was the
first pilot project in Canada. It now reaches 1,100 children. Due to additional funding, PJ Library is poised to grow again. At one time there was a waiting list, but now
subscription spots are open but for a limited time only. Do not wait! To sign up
please visit www.pjlibrary.org and enroll your child today!
A complete set of PJ Library books is available at the JPL.
The PJ Library is a program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation in the United
States and is funded locally by the Marlene and Joel King Family Foundation and a
program in memory of Helen and Sam Steinberg.

qu’elle vous accueille à la bibliothèque.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal
Sunday Morning Family Tree Workshop
The popular Sunday Morning Family Tree Workshop (formerly Scholar-inResidence) is an opportunity for beginners to get ‘one-on-one’ help with
family history questions. Jewish family history does not have to be a mystery. We all leave a paper trail that can unravel the story of our families for
many generations, across the ocean and into the smallest of ‘shtetls’– Join
other Montrealers in the fascinating quest for your roots.

“How to use the new Canadian Jewish Heritage Network
website and what this new resource contains for researchers”
The Canadian Jewish Heritage Network (CJHN) is the online gateway to
the digitized archives and genealogical resources of the Canadian Jewish
Congress Charities Committee National Archives (CJCCCNA) and the
Jewish Public Library Archives (JPLA).
Together these two institutions preserve the memory of Quebec and
Montreal’s Jewish poets and politicians, artists and activists, builders and
teachers, families and philanthropists. Learn how the CJHN is building a
digital time portal to your family’s past! Currently on the CJHN, researchers
have access to:
- More than 25,000 database records of archival collections currently on-line.
- Over 2000 digitized historic photographs and archival documents.
- More than 50,000 genealogical records with over 5,000 associated images.

Movie premiere in English/Yiddish with English subtitles, 93 min.
“Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness”
by Joseph Dorman (USA, 2011)
A riveting portrait of the great Yiddish writer, Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in
the Darkness tells the tale of the rebellious genius who created an entirely
new literature. Plumbing the depths of a Jewish world locked in crisis
and on the cusp of profound change, he captured that world with brilliant
humour. Sholem Aleichem was not just a witness to the creation of a new
modern Jewish identity, but one of the very men who forged it.
Featuring rarely seen photographs and archive footage, the voices of
actors Peter Riegert and Rachel Dratch, and interviews with leading
experts and the author’s own granddaughter, author Bel Kauffmann. This
film brings to life as never before Sholem Aleichem’s world and his timeless stories.
Award winning writer, producer and director Joseph Dorman will introduce
the movie and take Q&A. He has created a wide variety of programming
for PBS, CBS, Discovery Channel and CNN.

À partir des années 50, Montréal connaît une forte immigration de Juifs
du Maghreb. Pourquoi ces Juifs ont-ils quitté leurs pays de toujours pour
se rendre dans cette partie du monde ? Quels changements cela a-t-il
entrainé ? Peuvent-ils être qualifiés de réfugiés ? Par delà la diversité des
situations, quelle est la mémoire de ces Juifs maintenant québécois ?
Le comité francophone de la BPJ se propose d’explorer ce vaste sujet à
partir des personnes qui ont vécu ces événements. Pour le premier volet
de cette recherche qui se renouvellera chaque année, le comité francophone s’intéresse aux Juifs qui ont quitté le Maroc, l’Algérie, la Tunisie et
l’Égypte.
De jeunes historiens (M. Messika, M. Chebat, S. Cohen, A. Dysert) proposeront une discussion avec projection autour de leurs recherches.
Parallèlement, le comité présentera une exposition de documents puisés
dans les fonds d’archives locaux, dont ceux de la BPJ, qui sera présentée
dès le mois de mars dans le hall de l’édifice de la Fédération CJA.

Joel Yanofsky reviews
“House Rules” by Jodi Picoult
Jacob Hunt is a teenage boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s hopeless at
reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many
kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject — in his case,
forensic analysis. He’s always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the
police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need
to do…and he’s usually right. But then one day his tutor is found dead,
and the police come to question him. All of the hallmark behaviors of
Asperger’s – not looking someone in the eye, stimulatory tics and twitches
– look a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel. House Rules looks
at what it means to be different in our society, how autism affects a family, and how our legal system works well for people who communicate a
certain way – and fails those who don’t.
Joel Yanofsky is a literary journalist, book reviewer, novelist and memoirist. He is the author of four books of which his latest is Bad Animals: A
Father's Accidental Education in Autism.
“The Gift to Stalin” by Rustem Abdrashev (Kazakhstan, 2008)
This film takes place in 1949 Kazakhstan, a time when the USSR celebrated the 70th birthday of Stalin by testing the first nuclear bomb and
a new wave of repression, execution and exile was being felt throughout
the USSR. Sasha, a young Jewish boy left for dead amongst a pile of
bodies, is saved by an old Kazakh railroad worker and brought to live
with him in a remote village. Sasha dreams of finding his parents one day
and rescuing them. Together with the old man, Sasha enters a nationwide
contest to prepare a birthday present for Stalin that he hopes will lead
him to his parents.
Introduced by Delores Rosen, JPL English Cultural Committee member and
cinema aficionado.

“Halbman Steals Home” with author Glen Rotchin
What happens when the childhood home of a Montreal novelist burns down?
Well, he writes a novel about it, of course. Protagonist Mort Halbman is an
incorrigible curmudgeon who yearns to make amends for a life of missteps.
After losing his two great loves – the Expos and his beloved home that suddenly burns to the ground under mysterious circumstances – Mort finds
himself a suspect in the arson investigation. Complicating matters, Mort's
ex-wife Mona is trying to convince him that he should participate in the rabbiofficiated wedding of their gay son. Publisher's Weekly says “Rotchin’s talents
for character are on fine display in the darkly comical Mort Halbman...as
impressively crafted as his debut The Rent Collector, Rotchin’s follow-up will
entertain those searching for an uncomplicated engaging read.”
Glen Rotchin has published fiction, poetry, essays, and book reviews. He has
won two Canadian Jewish Book Awards for co-editing poetry anthologies, while
his debut novel, The Rent Collector, was a finalist in 2005 for the Amazon.ca/
Books in Canada First Novel Award.
Introduced by Joel Yanofsky, a Montreal writer and reviewer.

Eva Raby reviews
“In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American
Family in Hitler's Berlin” by Erik Larson
“The Lost Wife” with author Alyson Richman
The best-selling author of Devil in the White City documents the efforts
of first American ambassador to Hitler's Germany, William E. Dodd, to
acclimate to a residence in an increasingly violent city. He is forced to
associate with the Nazis while his daughter pursues a relationship with
Gestapo chief Rudolf Diels. Larson's narrative skills bring to life a fascinating panoply of characters and the terror closing in on Berlin with Hitler's
rise to power.
Prior to her eleven years as Executive Director of the Jewish Public Library,
Eva Raby served for seventeen years as head of the JPL’s Norman Berman
Children’s Library, achieving a community-wide reputation as a storyteller
and advocate for literacy. Since her retirement, she has returned to exploring her first love of historical events and the lives of those who created
and endured them.

How can an artist create under the most horrific and challenging circumstances? Can the artistic spirit ever be extinguished? Or does it exist
despite hardship and suffering? Focusing on the research from her most
recent novel, The Lost Wife, Alyson Richman will speak about the artists
of Terezin (the so-called "model" concentration camp located outside of
Prague) who were forced to create technical or commercial drawings for
the Nazis while simultaneously forging their own form of resistance against
their captors. Richman will discuss her research, which involved going to the
Czech Republic to interview artists who worked in the secretive Technical
Department in Terezin almost 70 years ago. The author will also discuss how
overhearing a story while researching her book altered the direction of her
novel and helped reinforce the themes of love, loss and survival.
Alyson Richman is the author of The Mask Carver's Son, Swedish
Tango, The Last Van Gogh and now, the best-selling novel, The Lost Wife.
Richman’s novels have received both national and international acclaim
and are published in thirteen languages. She lives in New York with her
husband and two children.
Introduced by author, journalist and professor Monique Polak. Books and

“Reading Hebrew & Yiddish Tombstones”
“The List”
Experts Hymie and John will help unravel the fascinating genealogical
secrets that old tombstones can be hiding. They will be doing individual
interpretations for attendees who send us tombstone photos in advance
of the program.
Please send your photos as soon as possible to: [email protected]
The List follows two fictional characters in London in 1945, when only
five months after the end of the war, there was a petition in England to
eject Jewish refugees from Britain. Always a journalist, Martin Fletcher did
extensive research into this era to make this novel as authentic as possible. During his research, Fletcher found one of three Jewish assassins
sent from Palestine to London in 1946 to assassinate the British Foreign
Minister, a plot that he brilliantly intertwines into the story.
Fletcher will describe how personal the book is for him. The List refers to
the list most European Jewish families kept after the Holocaust of relatives sent to the concentration camps. Survivors were ticked off, victims
were crossed out.
The novel is part emotional roller-coaster, part political thriller and is, as
Tom Brokaw described it, “a page-turner yet darkly comic.”
Martin Fletcher was the face of NBC News in Israel for close to thirty
years; he is the author of Breaking News, and Walking Israel. The List is
his first novel.
Introduced by Dennis Trudeau, one of Canada's foremost broadcast
journalists and interviewers. Books and autographs available.

Lecture and Book Launch with Irvin D. Yalom
The Hebrew Theatre of the Jewish Public Library under the chairmanship
of Nitza Parry proudly presents its 11th production
“The Spinoza Problem”
To be announced
The Max Margles Memorial Fund of the JPL presents a
When sixteen-year-old Alfred Rosenberg is called into his headmaster’s office
for anti-Semitic remarks he made during a school speech, he is forced, as
punishment, to memorize selected passages from the autobiography of the
German poet Goethe. Rosenberg is stunned to discover that Goethe, his idol,
was a great admirer of the seventeenth-century Jewish philosopher Baruch
Spinoza. Long after graduation, Rosenberg is obssessed by this “Spinoza
Problem”: how could the great German poet have been inspired by a member of a race Rosenberg considers so inferior to his own?
Spinoza himself was no stranger to punishment. Accused of heresy, he was
excommunicated from the Amsterdam Jewish community in 1656 at the age
of twenty-four, and banished from the only world he had ever known.
Internationally bestselling novelist Irvin D. Yalom explores the inner lives of
the two men – separated by 300 years. Yalom examines the thin psychological line that separates the great intellect from the debased poseur, the
righteous atheist from the godless murderer.
Irvin D. Yalom, M.D., is an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Stanford
University and a psychiatrist in private practice in Palo Alto and San
Francisco. He is the author of the novels When Nietzsche Wept, The
Schopenhauer Cure, and Lying on the Couch, as well as many works of nonfiction. He lives with his wife in Palo Alto, California.

Vivianne M. Silver reviews
“The Arrogant Years: One Girl's Search for her Lost Youth,
from Cairo to Brooklyn” by Lucette Lagnado
In this follow-up memoir, the author of award-winning The Man in the
White Sharkskin Suit tells the story of her mother, Edith, who came of
age in a magical old Cairo. Then Lagnado revisits her own early years in
America, a stranger growing up in a strange land. When she turns sixteen,
Lagnado’s adolescence is further complicated by cancer. Its devastating
consequences would rob her of her “arrogant years” – the years defined by
an overwhelming sense of possibility, invincibility, and confidence.
Vivianne M. Silver is an educator, community leader and author of two
books, including her memoir 42 Keys to the Second Exodus. She has taught
French literature and French as a Second language as well as serving as
the Coordinator of Women’s Studies and Gender Relations at John Abbott
College. She founded various community groups, and continues to lead
book reviews, particularly about a subject that is close to her heart – the
story of the vanished Jewish community of Egypt. Vivianne was born in
Cairo, Egypt and immigrated to Canada as a young girl after The Suez Crisis
of 1956.
Elaine Kalman Naves reviews “The Finkler Question”
by Howard Jacobson (Winner of the 2010 Man Booker prize)
“Three Presenters Program”
Former BBC radio producer Julian Treslove and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish
philosopher, are old school friends who never lost touch with each other –
or with their former teacher, Libor Sevick. Now, both Sevick and Finkler are
recently widowed. When the three dine at Sevick's apartment, it's a bittersweet evening of reminiscence.
Writer, journalist, and broadcaster Elaine Kalman Naves grew up in Budapest,
London, and Montreal. She was a literary columnist at the Montreal Gazette
for many years, and is the author of six books, among them the award-winning
memoirs Journey to Vaja, and Shoshanna’s Story. Elaine lectures widely at
colleges and universities, as well as at book clubs about her own books, the
literature of Montreal, and noteworthy new titles.

As part of the community wide GEN J Initiative, The PJ Library® (“PJ” for
pajama) is a programme seeking to engage Jewish families in Jewish life.
Each participating child receives an age-appropriate Jewish book or CD
every month, free of charge. The aim is to help families explore core values
of Judaism and pass them on to their children. The book and music list was
chosen by foremost early-childhood experts. All books come with guides to
help families use the selection in their homes. The list includes a wide array
of themes such as Jewish holidays, folktales and Jewish family life.
Montreal's programme, for children between 6 months and 5½ years old,
was the first pilot project in Canada. It now reaches 1,100 children. Due
to additional funding, PJ Library is poised to grow again. At one time there
was a waiting list, but now subscription spots are open but for a limited
time only. Do not wait! To sign up please visit www.pjlibrary.org and
enroll your child today!
Purim with Puppets
“Yorgo & The World”
by the Panadream Theatre
Yorgo is a charming young boy who has never
left his house. Fearful of the outside world, he
is content staying inside and spending time with
his adorable dog Buttons. But one day upon
awakening from a nap, he makes a startling discovery; Buttons is missing!
Fuelled by love and courage, Yorgo finally decides to overcome his fears
and leave his house in order to find his dog. He sets off on a journey which
brings him to extraordinary places.
Come in costume and bring a new pair of pajamas as “Mishloach
Manot” (Purim gift) to be donated to underprivileged families.
The JPL presents Teen Tour Theatre’s Junior Tour Group in
“Bed Bugs” by Leah Genuario
Directed by Aviva Wolman-Wener
Published by Pioneer Drama Service
Marie is a little girl who likes to jump on her bed, but to the bedbugs being
squished underfoot, she is the wicked witch who causes earthquakes, and
other natural disasters. The microscopic citizens living under her bed are
up in arms (and legs!) over her mother’s bedtime rhyme: “Good night,
sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite.” Can Marie and the bedbugs get
past their misunderstanding? Find out in this fun-filled show that’s crawling with laughs.
In a fun way, it reminds us there are always two sides to every story and
that conflict is best resolved peacefully.
This show is aimed at 3-9 year olds and runs approximately 45 minutes
For more information visit www.teentourtheatre.com
The PJ Library books are NOW available at the Children’s
Library.
Come visit our PJ Library display where you and your child
can enjoy reading our wonderful collection
of past and present PJ Library Books!

An award-winning epic story that is intimate at the same time, “Journey to
the River Sea” follows “the life and journey of an orphan girl as she faces
up to the problems of her outrageous fortune.” Ibbotson introduces us to
an array of fascinating characters plus a fast-moving plot that emphasizes
the importance of showing kindness to others and never being quick to
judge those who are different from ourselves. A wonderful adventure story
with a plot too exciting to put down.
Books are presently on sale at the Library ($10).

A gripping Young Adult novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to
present day North America, “The Hunger Games” is a readable mixture of
“science fiction, survival story, unlikely romance and social commentary.”
With completely sympathetic and realistic characters, the book has found
a connection with those raised on reality shows such as “Survivor.” “A
highly entertaining page-turner that has it all – action, romance, fashion,
gadgetry and humor, and all within a story of survival.”
Books are presently on sale at the Library ($10).
