In 1944, three youth groups were dedicated to the idea of an independent Jewish state: Hashomer Hatza'ir, Young Judaea, and Habonim. Hashomer Hatza'ir was firmly Marxist, with reports suggesting that boys and girls under eighteen showered together on their kibbutzim in Palestine. A notable member in Montreal was Shloime Schneiderman, my high-school classmate, who gained brief fame for leading a demonstration against a price hike in chocolate bars. Members of Hashomer Hatza'ir wore blue uniforms at meetings and conducted court martials, as noted by Marion Magid in her memoir about Habonim in the Bronx. In contrast, the girls from Young Judaea preferred pearls and cashmere, living in affluent neighborhoods with homes featuring heated towel racks and playrooms. I joined Habonim, the youth group of a Zionist political party with socialist roots, shortly after my bar mitzvah and during my first year at Baron Byng High School, having been recruited by a classmate named Jerry Greenfeld.
