A Sydney Taylor Honor Book
A loving tribute to a towering figure in Jewish American history from two award-winning creators.
Two-time National Jewish Book Award winner Norman H. Finkelstein and Sydney Taylor Award winner Vesper Stamper have teamed up to tell the story of Abraham Cahan, the founder and longtime editor of the Yiddish language newspaper the Forverts (the Forward), which, in its heyday, was one of the largest newspapers in the United States. As the saying went: "What''s a home without the Forverts?"
From explaining voting rights to the importance of public health measures to everyday questions like how to play baseball, Cahan improved the lives of countless newly arrived Jewish immigrants who wanted to feel at home in a new, strange land. He also published celebrated writers such as Isaac Bashevis Singer and created the iconic advice column the Bintel Brief for homesick readers.
Back matter includes a bibliography, a time line, more info on Cahan''s life and the Yiddish language, and a note on the author''s personal connection to the Forverts.
