New Voices – Tucked away in a comment on my blog post last week was an interesting question that got me thinking. It read: Do you feel like the Canadian Jewish community is on the whole further to the left than the American Jewish community?

I have been living in Vancouver for over a year now, and honestly, I’m not sure. The Jewish community here feels quite similar to the Seattle community in which I grew up. I suppose that is more of a regional thing. So the real answer to the question is somewhat complex.
