{"product_id":"9781442654648","title":"The Jews in Manitoba","description":"\u003cp\u003eRabbi Chiel's history of the Jewish community in Manitoba grew   out of a curiosity about the colour and vitality of Jewish life in this Canadian   prairie province which was impressed upon him during a ten-year residence in   Winnipeg. He was impelled as a result to record the events of that history and to   try and fit the local Jewish experience into a larger historical panorama. His story   has been built up by careful examination of Manitoba newspapers and early histories,   by research in the archives of the province, and by interviews with surviving Jewish   pioneers. It reveals with insight and skill how the Jewish community has, because of   its distinctive character as an ethnic group and its participation with other groups   in the development of the Prairies as a whole, made an outstanding contribution to   provincial and national life in business, the professions, and the arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis   study is presented under the sponsorship of the Manitoba Historical Society which   has encouraged a number of studies of the various ethnic groups in Manitoba. It has   received the H.M. Caiserman Award of the Canadian Jewish Congress. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128226922736,"sku":"9781442654648","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442654648_p0.jpg?v=1763807122","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442654648","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
