A Jewish youth, training to become a rabbi in oppressive turn-of-the century Russia, becomes exposed to worldly ideas which change his attitude towards his religion and his country.
a wonderful description of the life of jews in czarist russia, and the decision of a young boy to leave for america. when i read (aloud) the last word my daughter wanted to know where the "next" book was so we could hear more of the character's story. truly a gem.
