A Museum-Like Experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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!
