 == Jewish Life in Canada ==
-Currently, most Jews in Canada live primarily in Montreal and Toronto, numbering half a million people. Melbourne's Jews mostly immigrated after the Holocaust from Poland, and Sydney's Jews are mostly of British origin. Unlike other Jewish communities worldwide, the Jewish connection among the continent's residents is considered exceptionally strong, with many receiving education in Jewish institutions and only a small percentage intermarrying.

 Canada has large concentrations of Charedi Jews. Thousands of families live in Montreal and Toronto, most belonging to the Litvish stream and many Chassidic groups, including: Belz Chassidim, Satmar Chassidim, Vizhnitz Chassidim, and Bobov Chassidim. Some communities have their own kashrus organizations and shechita systems.
