His comments bespoke his own commitment, in the final years of a long and prolific career, to writing stories for children. It was in 1966 at age 62 that Singer wrote \"Zlatch the Goat\", which garnered the first of the author's two Newbery Medals, the highest honor in children's literature. Isaac Bashevis Singer: Children's Stories and Childhood Memoirs is the first study focused exclusively on Singer's works for children. Alida Allison presents Singer's accomplishments in children's literature as the culmination of his career. She incorporates insights gained in interviews with Singer's widow and editors and makes extensive reference to existing documents on the author's life, in particular the autobiographies of his siblings. Allison's study is notable for its consideration of the illustrators and translators who worked closely with Singer. The varied approaches to his mysticism and realism taken by his illustrators - some of the world's best known - wonderfully extend and enhance his stories.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"TWAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43220470104126,"sku":"pop1787285370905","price":17.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/isaac-bashevis-singer-childrens-stories-and-memoirs-by-alida-allison_1.jpg?v=1787285376"},{"product_id":"aharon-appelfeld-from-individual-lament-to-tribal-eternity-by-yigal-schwartz","title":"Aharon Appelfeld: From Individual Lament to Tribal Eternity by Yigal Schwartz","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000;\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Aharon Appelfeld stands among the most prominent Israeli writers and is the most frequently published Israeli writer in the US.

Among the Jews who arrived in the United States in the early 1940s were a small number of Polish scholars who had devoted their professional lives to the study of Europe's Yiddish-speaking Jews at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Faced with the devastating knowledge that returning to their former homes and resuming their scholarly work there was no longer viable, they sought to address their profound sense of loss by continuing their work, under radically different circumstances, to document the European Jewish lives, places, and ways of living that were being destroyed. In pursuing this daunting agenda, they made a remarkable decision: they would create a museum to memorialize East European Jewry and educate American Jews about this legacy. YIVO scholars determinedly pursued this undertaking for several years, publicizing the initiative and collecting materials to exhibit. However, the Museum of the Homes of the Past was abandoned shortly after the war ended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith insight and clarity, Jeffrey Shandler draws upon the surviving archival sources to tell the story of the purpose, development, and ultimate fate of the Museum of the Homes of the Past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHomes of the Past\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explores this largely unknown episode of modern Jewish history and museum history and demonstrates that the project, even though it was never realized, marked a critical inflection point in the dynamic interrelations between Jews in America and Eastern Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"HOPKI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43220481736766,"sku":"fne1787285663390","price":24.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/homes-of-the-past-a-lost-jewish-museum-by-jeffrey-shandler_1.jpg?v=1787285668"},{"product_id":"bulat-blues-by-daniel-kahn","title":"Bulat Blues by Daniel Kahn","description":"","brand":"ORIEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43220481802302,"sku":"wov1787285664823","price":14.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/bulat-blues-by-daniel-kahn_1.jpg?v=1787285669"},{"product_id":"jewish-languages-from-a-to-z-1st-edition-by-aaron-d-rubin","title":"Jewish Languages from A to Z 1st Edition by Aaron D.
