| | Judaism |
 | | But with the lengthy development of Judaism and its many changes it is incorrect to posit, as some have done, that Jewish history produced two separate religions: an OT religion of Israel and the postexilic religion of Judaism. | | | Judaism was the first religion to teach Monotheism, or belief in one God. | | | Deprived of land, temple, and cultic priestly ministrations, Judaism began to adopt a nonsacrificial religion. |

| | When the ethnic numbers were released earlier this year, some experts said they reflect a decline in the Jewish population, while others were confident the figures on religion would show Canadas Jews have grown by at least 10 per cent. | | | The census showed there are 329,995 Jews by religion in Canada, up from 318,185 in 1991. | | | Nearly half of Canadas Jews live in Ontario, where the number of Jews rose by 8.6 per cent over the previous decade. |

| | With Muslims now outnumbering Jews in Canada, effects on policy studied |
| | Figures from the 2001 Canadian census released last week by Statistics Canada show that the number of people claiming to be of Muslim faith increased by 128.9 percent to 579,640 in the decade beginning in 1991, making Islam the fastest-growing religion in Canada. | | | Catholics outnumbered Protestants for the first time in 1971, and Catholicism continues to be the dominant religion in Canada, with 43.2 percent of the population claiming to follow its doctrines. | | | If I was a Jew in Canada with this data, the support that $oddomite got from the Canadian government, the anti Israel attacks in the Canadian press and a look at where France is re Jews/Israel would make me want to come to America. |

| | Sarna points out that already in the late colonial period American Judaism had begun to diverge from religious patterns that existed in Europe and the Caribbean. | | | The American Revolution, the ratification of the Constitution, the passage of the Bill of Rights, and the nationwide democratization of religion further transformed Jewish religious life. | | | Concluding with a consideration of contemporary dilemmas, Sarna draws from history the possibility that "American Jews will find creative ways to maintain and revitalize American Judaism." |

| | Judaism |
| | A Jew who ceases to practice Judaism is still considered a Jew, as is a Jew who does not accept Jewish principles of faith and becomes an agnostic or an atheist; so too with a Jew who converts to another religion. | | | Reform Judaism (outside of the USA also known as Progressive Judaism, and in the U.K. as Liberal Judaism) originally formed in Germany as a reaction to traditional Judaism, stresses integration with society and a personal interpretation of the Torah. | | | Judaism developed into several distinct denominations in response to this unprecedented phenomenon: Reform Judaism and Liberal Judaism, many forms of Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and a number of smaller groups as well. |

| | All these works shed much light on the Jews and Judaism in Canada and their context. | | | Some, however, treat religion or ethnicity more generally and are included because they deal with the contexts in which Canadian Jews and Judaism exist. | | | In the area of religion, the practices of Canadian Jews have received some study, but relatively little has been written on synagogues as institutions or on the internal dynamics of the various branches of Judaism. |

| | In the face of strong opposition within the Cabinet and the upper levels of the civil service to admitting Jews, the Canadian Jewish Congress was reorganized under the leadership of Samuel BRONFMAN to work for a safe haven in Canada for some of the increasingly desperate Jews of Europe. | | | Jews settled in the British colonies to the south and after the incorporation of New France into the British Empire began also to settle in LOWER CANADA. | | | During their long period of international dispersion, Jews had developed an identity based on being a national minority with a distinctive religion and communal structure. |

| | For the first time in the countrys history, Islam has replaced Judaism as the largest non-Christian religion in Canada. | | | While in the past Bnai Brith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress were the two major national advocacy organizations, reorganization during 2003 by the United Israel Appeal Federations Canada (UIAFC) led to the establishment of a new umbrella entity known as the Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA). | | | According to Bnai Brith Canada, there appears to be a causal relationship between coverage of Jewish issues in the mass media and the sense that somehow permission has been given for open expression of antagonism toward Jews. |
