I could copy the only other review for this book word for word and feel like my feelings were adequately summed up.
I will add however that I feel like this gives a very interesting backdrop to modern Jewish opinions.

Interesting, Historical Fiction. Gives a good sense of the lives of immigrant Jews in America during the late 1930's.
