At the turn of the 20th century, Jewish families dispersed by migration, stayed in touch only through letters. For many, communicating in writing was a challenge. How could they make sure their spelling was correct, their thoughts properly organized? The solution? BrivnshtelersYiddish-language books of model letters. Dear Mendl, Dear Reyzl is a magic window into the daily lives of a scattered people sharing a common language and culture. Roberta Newman is the Director of Digital Initiatives, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, and co-authored the book with Alice Nakhimovsky, professor of Russian and Jewish studies at Colgate University.
