HistoryThe community was formed in 1963 by Rebbe Meshulim Feish (Ferencz) Lowy. Lowy moved to Montreal in 1951, but viewed the moral climate in the community as deteriorating and not conducive to the study of Torah.[2] The Rabbi and 18 families moved to the Boisbriand area in 1963, in an attempt to better insulate and isolate the community from outside influences.[2] Since then, the population of the community has greatly increased, mostly due to the fertility rates of Hasidic communities.[3] EconomicsAccording to Dr. William Shaffir of McMaster University, about 20% of men living in Kiryas Tosh work outside of the community.[2] Those who work outside of the community usually work in either specialized Jewish businesses, as Shochetim (ritual slaughterers) and teachers in religious schools, or in Jewish-owned businesses in the greater Montreal area.[2] The rest of the community work in either religious jobs (at the community synagogue, mikvah, or yeshiva) or own their own small-scale retail businesses out of their homes (from jewelry making and shatnez laboratories to accounting and insurance agencies).{{citation needed|date = May 2013}} [4]The community has a small shopping centre, housing a kosher supermarket, a kosher butcher, a toy store, and a clothing store, as well as shops to buy Judaica items.[4] Kiryas Tosh is served by its own Hatzolah unit for medical services, making it one of only three chapters in all of Canada.[1] The village is also patrolled by a volunteer neighborhood watch group known as Chevrah Shomrim, which consists of over 20 young people that patrol the streets and come when one calls for help, working in conjunction with the local police forces.[5] To help ensure the survival of the community's stringent religious traditions, relative isolation from the outside world is considered desirable by the village's leaders. This isolation has led to distrust between many members of the community and the outside world, and vice versa. Intercommunity suspicion has led to incidents of hateful vandalism against residents' property in Kiryas Tosh. Institutions in Kiryas Tosh have also expressed their distrust of the outside community with prejudicial comments such as the following one, translated from the original Yiddish, to be found on the website of Kiryas Tosh's neighborhood watch group, Chevrah Shomrim: "[...] as Kiryas Tosh is situated in a French[-speaking] district where anti-Semitism is very great and the Gentiles are not ashamed to show it ... [...]"[6] BylawsIn order to protect the community from what he perceived as the moral decay of the outside community, Rebbe Lowy put together a set of by-laws "to govern the behavior of all the residents" of Kiryas Tosh.[7] To live in this community, residents need to abide by these by-laws.[7]
Teachers of secular subjects who come into the community must follow guidelines of their own:
PoliticsThe community seems to avoid voting in federal elections. In a poll-by-poll map of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, the riding that covers Kiryas Tosh, voter turnout was as low as 10% in 2008.[8] In the 2011 election, the community was evenly split between the Liberal and the Conservative candidates in their riding, while the riding itself was won by Laurin Liu of the NDP.[9] In the 2015 election, the area went heavily for the Liberals, and the riding itself was won by Linda Lapointe of the Liberal Party.[10] The community caused a controversy among Quebec Jews when it seemed as if the community would support a "Yes" vote in the 1995 Quebec referendum, running contrary to the opinion of the other Jews in the province, who largely supported the federalist "No" side.[2] See also{{portal|Quebec|Judaism}}
