Bad Rabbi: And Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press
Written with reverence and love for all things Yiddish this is a compendium of stories about the downwardly mobile Jews whose daily disgraces were exposed through Yiddish newspapers during pre-WWII New York and Warsaw - the two major centers of Yiddish culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Author Eddy Portnoy, Senior Researcher and Exhibition Curator at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, offers us a window into an unknown world of strange, eastern European transplants, whose shortcomings became fodder for urban gossip.
