Come learn about Montreal’s historic Red Light District and its most infamous figures. \nSex work\, especially in its most visible forms\, tends to be recognized as a problem\, requiring intervention and eradication. As a major transportation hub and port city\, many sectors of Montreal’s economy were intertwined with the sex trade\, even as police and politicians manipulated social responses (positive and negative) to the presence of a thriving Red Light District. From Maimie Pinzer to Harry Ship and through to the present day\, this tour explores the social\, economic\, labour\, cultural\, racial\, and gender history of Montreal through its former Red Light\, which for decades thrived in the heart of Montreal’s burgeoning Jewish community. \nThis tour covers 150 years and 10 city blocks over 1.5-2 hours. The tour begins on the southeast corner of Boulevard RenĂ© LĂ©vesque and Boulevard St. Laurent and ends near St. Laurent metro station. Please note that while the tour will be led in English\, questions may be asked and answered in French. \nTICKETS:\nAdults: $25\nStudents: $13\nAges 65+: $23\nAges 13-17: $13\nAges 8-12: $8\nAges 0-7: Free \nClick here to reserve your spot.  \nWeather Policy: In the event of light rain\, the tour will go on as scheduled. If there is a strong warning of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms\, the tour will be postponed. All registrants will have the option to attend the rescheduled tour.

We will make “love potions” in the form of oxymels – mixtures of herbally infused honey and vinegar. Together\, we will learn about the herbs that have connections in Jewish culture to the heart\, strength\, and romance traditions. Participants will take home their own mixture of herbs that they can infuse or gift as they wish.  \nTickets are $18 each\, and include all workshop materials. Please note that capacity is limited. Reserve your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. \nClick here to reserve your spot. \nFacilitated by Celia\, an alumni of the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrant Program\, this workshop is a space to explore the ways that plants are central to Jewish traditions\, folk practices\, healing methods\, stories and symbols. By continuing to share her research about ancestral plant wisdom\, Celia hopes to increase the resources available that make understanding and connecting with Jewish plant rituals and folk medicine accessible\, which is particularly important for Jewish people\, the majority of whom live in diasporic communities and have a long history of exile\, persecution and cultural erasure. Herbalism grants people the knowledge and tools to utilize natural resources in their local environment to support their health and wellness. \nAbout Celia: \nCelia Robinovitch is a Montreal-based social worker\, herbalist and DJ. She holds a bachelor’s in social work from McGill and is a graduate of the City Herbal Apprenticeship Program. Celia has worked extensively in community outreach\, harm reduction\, and urban agriculture. She currently works at Santropol Roulant on the Meals on Wheels team\, and spends her free time DJing and learning more about Jewish herbalism traditions in hopes of integrating her Jewish heritage with her love for plants and accessible healthcare. \nAccessibility: Please note that the upper levels of our building are not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This workshop will take place on the ground level\, accessible by ramp.
