Museum of Jewish Montreal

The Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) (French: Musée du Montréal juif (MMJ)) is an online and mobile museum that collects, maps, and presents the history and experiences of the Montreal Jewish community through exhibits, walking tours and through online and mobile technology.

[2][3] The MJM website features online exhibits with written descriptions of key institutions, events, places and people in the history of Montreal’s Jewish life.

[9] In October 2011, MJM began publishing The Third Solitude Series, a blog featuring in-depth interviews, research, literature, photo essays and personal stories relating to Montreal’s Jewish heritage.

[10] This name is based on author Hugh MacLennan's famous book about the French versus English divide in Montreal, titled Two Solitudes.

[13] Currently, the museum offers four distinct walking tour narratives each about a different facet of Jewish life: Making Their Mark; Rabbis, Writers, and Radicals; Beyond the Bagel, and In The Shadow of the Mountain.
