    Although the shift away from traditional Jewish values opens avenues for women to play a greater role in the workforce, it also significantly detracts from the intrinsic bond people share through traditional culture and lifestyle. Due to the larger population of Jewish people within Lodz, inhabitants became less connected through cultural and ethnic background and therefore became more anonymous to one another. As a result, traditional Jewish culture is less valued and not strictly adhered to, creating a gradual loss of identity with past generations of Jews active in religious pursuits and close to their heritage. The lost shtetl community within cities shifted Jewish culture in urban Poland toward social class segmentation and excess, leading to a more hallow society with cut cultural ties. This modernization is reflective of effects of globalization and urbanization in modern day, as culture and heritage slowly dissipate in overpopulated and fragmented city…

Its Jewish population exceeded Toronto’s, and the educational and communal structures built by the Jewish community outdid the smaller centers in Canada.

In Louis Wirth’s article The Ghetto he argued that the movement of Jewish populations to areas of second and third settlement is an attempt to improve their social status, get rid of their foreignness and alienate themselves from other Jews.…
