  • The OJA Presents: A Trip to the Market

    Built upon the OJA’s Stories of Spadina walking tour, the goals were to present the challenges and opportunities of living in early twentieth-century Toronto, to foster an understanding of local Jewish history, and to encourage contemporary connections between the historic experiences of Jewish Torontonians and other immigrant populations. The content of the tour highlighted the universal commonalities between current immigrant experiences and those of the early Jewish settlers: the need for community; the importance of cultural, religious, and linguistic connections to one’s past; and the challenges faced by minority populations in new countries.
