Not surprisingly \u2013 \u201cPeople of the Book,\u201d and all \u2013 education is an always-relevant topic that has been covered in the Jewish Independent \/ Jewish Western Bulletin<\/i>. The paper seems to have steered clear of editorially supporting any particular Jewish school or type of Jewish schooling, but rather consistently stressed the need for Jewish education, especially for children, but also for youth and adults.<\/p>\n

A 1956 editorial noted that \u201can estimated 50 percent of Jewish children in Canada do not get any Jewish education whatsoever.\u201d While admitting that there were no data to suggest Vancouver fared better than other Canadian cities in this regard, it noted that there were several types of schooling available here, day school, evening classes, religious and secular options. \u201cOnly the anti-Semites try to cast all Jews in a common mold, a hateful mold,\u201d it noted. \u201cBut the Jews among themselves have always followed diverse paths in the perpetuation of their history, ideals and spiritual heritage.\u201d So, it concluded, \u201cRegister your child in the Jewish school of your choice. And, if your child is already enrolled, remind your friend or neighbor about enrolling his child.\u201d<\/p>\n
