 :\n“It is me the prophet laments when he cries out\, ‘My enemies are t
 he people in my own home.’” The Rabbi ignored his borscht and instead 
 chewed on a crust of bread dipped in salt. “My greatest enemies are my o
 wn family.”\n\nRabbi Sholem Shachne Katzenellenbogen’s world\, the wor
 ld of his forefathers\, is crumbling before his eyes. And in his own home!
  His eldest\, Bentzion\, is off in Bialystok\, studying to be a businessma
 n\; his daughter Bluma Rivtcha is in Vilna\, at nursing school. For her ol
 der sister\, Tilza\, he at least managed to find a suitable young rabbi\, 
 but he can tell things are off between them…Originally serialized in the
  1960s and 1970s in New York–based Yiddish newspapers\, Chaim Grade’s 
 Sons and Daughters is a precious glimpse of a way of life that is no longe
 r—the rich Yiddish culture of Poland and Lithuania that the Holocaust wo
 uld eradicate.\n\nWith characters that rival the homespun philosophers and
  lovable rogues of Sholem Aleichem and I. B. Singer…Grade’s masterful 
 novel brims with humanity and heartbreaking affection for a world\, once f
 ull of life in all its glorious complexity\, that would in just a few year
 s vanish forever.” Amazon\n\nDCPL: not available.\nMCPL: Book: 0 of 16 c
