Dr Randall Schnoor Panel Discussion Sound Clip 1

Description

In May of 2014, I connected with several families based in the Toronto area and put together an exhibit of photos and sound recordings I found in private collections, many of which came from Shirley Chernin. The Centre for Imaginative Ethnography, York University graciously hosted the event, which coincided with the Canadian Anthropological Society Conference. The event brought together a diverse group of people: anthropologists, folklorists, ethnomusicologists, scholars of Jewish studies, members and former members of the Jewish community from Cape Breton. This exhibit is the site of my inquiry and curiosity. The space was not meant to be entirely self explanatory, nor complete, an invitation to discuss the growing historical account of Jewish life on the island. Dr Randall Schnoor provided insight into the experiences of other Jewish communities, beginning in small towns and moving into larger city centres. -Ely Rosenblum
