nostalgia

i absolutely loved this book about the Jewish women's immigrant experience. it's not just about their struggles, but about their hopes for the future of their children in spite of their daily struggles. however, it's not just the struggling but the sheer joys of being in a new land and the pleasures of bonding. this book reminded me of my childhood and my wonderful Jewish bubby who made our lives so complete. we tend to take for granted the daily influences of our forebears, but in retrospect we appreciate them so much more.
