A Museum-Like Experience

Joseph Telushkin is an ecumenically minded progressive sort of Orthodox rabbi, probably best known for his giant book on Jewish Literacy. This book is just 32 over-sized pages, but is PACKED with amazing photos, removable reproductions of fliers and ship passage tickets, various artifacts, etc. He gives a museum-like experience to the reader. You get as good of a taste of the turn of the century Jewish immigrant experience as any such book could offer. Wonderful book.

Good Book!

This book is very good for educating students about American Immigrants and American Jewish immigrants.
