This book begins with an audacious question: Has there ever been a
better home for Jews than Canada? By certain measures, Canada might
be the most socially welcoming, economically secure, and
religiously tolerant country for Jews in the diaspora, past or
present. No Better Home? takes this question seriously, while also
exploring the many contested meanings of the idea of "home."
Contributors to the volume include leading scholars of Canadian
Jewish life as well as eminent Jewish scholars writing about Canada
for the first time. The essays compare Canadian Jewish life with
the quality of life experienced by Jews in other countries, examine
Jewish and non-Jewish interactions in Canada, analyse specific
historical moments and literary texts, reflect deeply personal
histories, and widen the conversation about the quality and timbre
of the Canadian Jewish experience. No Better Home? foregrounds
Canadian Jewish life and ponders all that the Canadian experience
has to teach about Jewish modernity.
