United Talmud Torahs of Montreal ((ヘブライ語:בתי תלמוד תורה)) is a private coed Jewish day school system that includes an elementary (''United Talmud Torah'') and a high school (''Herzliah High School''), located in the Snowdon neighbourhood of the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough in Montreal, Quebec. Its high school is known as Herzliah High School ((ヘブライ語:הרצליה)). Herzliah and United Talmud Torah's campus in the Saint-Laurent borough (known as the Beutel campus) was closed down and consolidated with the Snowdon campus in 2011. Two additional elementary school campuses existed in the Côte Saint-Luc neighbourhood and Chomedey, but were closed down and merged with the other branches. ==History== Founded in 1896 by Rabbi M.A. Ashinsky, classes initially were taught in the Yiddish language, later in Hebrew. The first class had but twenty students, all of them boys (girls were first admitted only in 1911), and one teacher. In 1903, Talmud Torah School was housed in its own building for the first time. In 1917, six individual Talmud Torah schools merged as the United Talmud Torahs of Montreal. Ground was broken in 1930 for the first new building of the school, financed by a fundraising initiative with major community support; the building was erected on the corner of Saint-Joseph Boulevard and Jeanne-Mance Street in the Mile End neighbourhood. Over 1,300 students were enrolled. The high school was opened in 1946 and the first classes were held with Melech Magid, who had been a teacher and principal with the United Talmud Torah schools since the early 1920s as the full-time Educational Director. In 1959, a new campus on Saint-Kevin Avenue in the Snowdon district was opened, with the Saint-Joseph Boulevard building closing shortly afterwards. In 1962, an elementary school opened in the town of Saint-Laurent. In the early 1970s, French became a significant language of instruction at both the elementary and high schools. In the 1990s, all four Herzliah/UTT campuses were renovated. In 2000, Herzliah’s Judaica Program for students with little or no Jewish elementary school experience, was established as an addition to its program. In 2011, the Beutel campus in St. Laurent (both high school and elementary) were closed and merged with the Snowdon campus, because of increasing financial problems and decreasing enrollment.〔(Montreal Gazette )〕 A merger of the Herzliah/United Talmud Torah schools with JPPS/Bialik, another Jewish school system and long the primary competitor with Herzliah/UTT, was announced in February 2011, but was soon rejected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Talmud Torahs of Montreal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
