pickI found this while looking for immigrant experiences books for work, and thought it was a super interesting read. It‘s filled with abridged letters from Jewish immigrants / first generation Jewish Americans from a Yiddish-language newspaper in the early 1900s and the help column‘s responses. I wish the explanation and history wasn‘t in the back of the book, but I learned some cool #Jewish history to surprise my Jewish family with. #ImmigrantVoices
Clare-Dragonfly Wow! That sounds awesome. It combines three things I enjoy: Jewish history, historical documents, and advice columns! 1y
Kenyazero @Clare-Dragonfly it was a pretty fun find! And now I have another collection of the Bintel Briefs on my radar to read. This collection was fairly abridged because of its comic format. 1y
