Outremont et les Hassidim
OUTREMONT AND THE HASIDIM reveals the challenges of accommodating the âHasidimâ â or ultra-Orthodox Jews â in the affluent MontrĂ©al borough of Outremont.âSome 7,000 Hasidim live in or near this choice neighbourhood of QuĂ©becâs Francophone elite. After settling there more than 70 years ago, the Hasidim are a rapidly growing minority group which today represents about 23% of Outremontâs population.âThanks to unprecedented access to this self-isolated community, the film lifts the veil on its practices, traditions, music and life as they had never before been seen on Canadian television, without ignoring the communityâs expectations, fears. and hopes.
