Symposium to honour Queen's professor emeritus
Ofyn Veg: A Symposium on Canadian Jewish Studies in Honour of Gerald Tulchinsky will be held next month at the University of Toronto's Centre for Jewish Studies. Dr. Tulchinsky is a Queen's professor emeritus of history and a leading scholar in the area of Jewish studies in Canada.
The Yiddish phrase Ofyn Veg, which means “on the road,” is a fitting way to describe Dr. Tulchinsky ý ’s exploration and scholarship into the Jewish experience in Canada.
“Historians are on the road, working to construct Jewish Canadian history in some coherent way,” says Dr. Tulchinsky.
