After living in New York City for 10 years, Alice Frank Patry moved to Vaudreuil, a suburban town across the river from the Island of Montreal. There, married to a non-Jewish man, an hour’s drive from the Jewish epicentre of Montreal, the artist and poet decided to dig her heels into her Judaism: she became ordained as a Renewal rabbi.
She joins Ralph Benmergui on Yehupetzville, The CJN’s podcast about small-town Jews, to discuss her reasons for moving, her connection to Judaism and how she celebrates her faith in a town with barely any Jews.
