Europe and America today, and 80% of
all world Jewry, originated in Eastern
Europe." So records a British historian,
as he documents The Legacy of Polish
Jewry in the fateful years 1919 to 1939.
"It was Poland which produced the
pietists, the Hebraists, the Yiddishists,
the pioneers, the men of letters and the
men of action, the men whose faith
moved mountains and the men whose
hands drained marshes. This was the
main center of Chassidism, the move-
ment that rekindled and reclaimed the
Jewish people. And it was here that the
pale wistful dream of Zion became the
tangible living reality that was Zionism."
c otlay, on Broadway, the shtetel lives
again in nostalgic song and Chassidic
dance and poignant Sholont A leichentdik
humoresque. Yet vanished beyond recall
Is the shtetel Itself—with its unique
Torah orientation and powerful other-
worldly values, with its many-splendored
spiritual colorations, with its tender in-
tricately woven family togetherness and
Its rich jovous jubilant grieFt ranscending
Jewishness. Today the children of the
New World seek, not just with curiosity
but with empathetic awareness, traces of
the Old World of East European ances-
tors. That is why books like The Legacy
of Polish Jewry are so important.
Of course, one of the easiest ways to
travel is—by mixing spoon! These
way-out recipes carry you off not to
Eastern Europe but to the far Far East
... and then to sunny Italy. But don't
get carried away by the compliments!
