Found this children's fiction published in 1977 at a library book sale. It's about a young Jewish boy in Russian at the time of the revolution. He questions the strong religious traditions of his father and his studies at the yeshiva and joins the revolution. Then he questions the revolution. He leaves for America and a new life. Now for a history book.
