“The Organizing Committee of the Conference of
Canadian Jews was initiated by the Labour Zionists and socialist editor REUBEN BRAININ of the Veg. Its
secretary was Louis Fitch, considered a friend of the workers, and the
committee also included Samuel W. Jacobs, viewed by the downtown Jews as “a
consistent rebel against the Jewish aristocracy of the city.”
“In
modern times there have been an increasing number of Jewish scholars and
historians who are rediscovering, or 'reclaiming' the Jesus of history.
