Great paper! as usual on this web site!!!

A small mistake though which should be corrected:

on this sentence: An eighteenth-century exception is Frances (David) Michaels (the widow of Myer Michaels), who made a large donation that enabled the tiny pioneer Jewish community of Montreal to build its first synagogue in 1777.

Frances MICHAELS (nÌÄå©e DAVID) was born in 1770, thus 7 years old when the first synagogue was built in Montreal. The large donation you talk about: she made it in 1835 for the second building, since the first one had become inappropriate.

Great work! Best regards Pascale
