Franklin Bialystok is a retired lecturer at the Centres for Canadian and Jewish Studies at the University of Toronto.
<p>"The book, with its well-organized structure, numerous chapter subheadings, and wealth of background historical information, deserves to be the primary text in introductory courses on Canadian Jewish life at the university level…Bialystok should be commended for authoring a book that will add much knowledge about Canada’s Jews to what will hopefully be a wide audience."</p> - Jack Lipinsky, PhD (<em>Canadian Jewish Studies</em>) "This is the first full-scale, synthetic history of Canadian Jewry, spanning the 18th century to the present, since Gerald Tulchinsky’s masterful <em>Canada’s Jews: A People’s Journey</em>. Bialystok enumerates historical factors and introduces a wide range of personages, from movers and shakers to criminals. A welcome addition to the Canadian Jewish bookshelf." - J.D. Sarna, Brandeis University (<em>CHOICE</em>) "<em>Faces in the Crowd</em> is a welcome addition to the Canadian Jewish bookshelf." - J.D. Sarna, Brandeis University (<em>CHOICE</em>)
Starting with the first steps on Canadian soil in the eighteenth century to the present day, Faces in the Crowd introduces the reader to the people and personalities who made up the Canadian Jewish experience, from the Jewish roots of the NHL’s Ross trophy to Leonard Cohen and all the rabbis, artists, writers, and politicians in between. Drawing on a lifetime of wisdom and experience at the heart of the Canadian Jewish community, Franklin Bialystok adds new research, unique insights, and, best of all, memorable stories to the history of the Jews in Canada.
