Mindful Muslim Review
This book is an intimate portrayal of a hardworking, conservative and practicing Jewish immigrant family. It illustrates the life and culture of the Jewish community in New York City at the turn of the century with detailed descriptions of Jewish religious rituals, holidays, and celebrations. A very entertaining read about the adventures of a poor and close-knit family, rich in love and values. The five sisters and their baby brother make everything– from dusting the front room to visiting the library– an adventure.
