This stunning collection of fourteen translated works represents an outstanding contribution to the Yiddish renaissance that has been gaining momentum since the 1980s. Editor Rhea Tregebov worked with a group of talented translators and readers to gather this important collection of stories and memoirs which range from Sarah Hamer-Jacklyn's comic shtetl tale, "No More Rabbi!"; and Frume Halpern's sharp psychological satire, to Paula Frankel-Zaltzman's heartrending memoir of caring for her invalid father in the Dvinsk ghetto during the Nazi occupation. Although as many as eight of the contributors have now passed away, they have left behind voices that ring true to the wit, humour, satire and compassion of "yiddishkayt" (Yiddish culture) as well as its tragedy.
