"The book, with its well-organized structure, numerous chapter subheadings, and wealth of background historical information, deserves to be the primary text in introductory courses on Canadian Jewish life at the university levelBialystok should be commended for authoring a book that will add much knowledge about Canadas Jews to what will hopefully be a wide audience."
- Jack Lipinsky, PhD (Canadian Jewish Studies) "This is the first full-scale, synthetic history of Canadian Jewry, spanning the 18th century to the present, since Gerald Tulchinskys masterful Canadas Jews: A Peoples Journey. Bialystok enumerates historical factors and introduces a wide range of personages, from movers and shakers to criminals. A welcome addition to the Canadian Jewish bookshelf." - J.D.
