The article discusses the author's perception of Canada and its Jewish community before and after reading a book about Canadian Jewry. The author initially viewed Canada as an addendum to the United States, with a small Jewish community. However, the book changed their perception by highlighting the size and diversity of the Canadian Jewish community, as well as the significant role of Yiddish. The author also compares the experiences of Polish Jews, who underwent a process of de-assimilation, with the more organically Jewish community in Canada. The article concludes by discussing the presence of large numbers of Ukrainians in Poland and the potential for a special connection between Poland and Canada. [Extracted from the article]
