From “Griner” to “Yenkee”: Letters to the Bintel Brief over Three Generations
The story of the integration of Polish and Russian Jewish immigrants into American life is often described as an unmitigated success. In reality, the transition from the Old World to the New often was quite difficult and required numerous sacrifices. By looking at selected letters in English from the Bintel Brief, the famous advice column published for over fifty years in the Jewish Daily Forward, we can trace the challenges and opportunities faced by East European Jewish immigrants and their descendants over three generations–from the arrival at Ellis Island to the present day.
