As the two innocently come to know each other, they fall in love. Are they \"bashert\"-soul mates destined to be together? Or will rigid class differences, shtetl politics, and a ruthless marriage broker tear them apart? This bittersweet love story, written in 1891, provides a vivid and insightful exploration of our great-grandparents' lives in 19th century Eastern Europe: how they lived, how they loved, and how they tried to remain faithful to their Jewish way of life in the face of modern ideas and a changing world. \"A poignant look at the trials and triumphs of young love in the shtetl. Jacob Dinezon's lyrical story brings this bygone world to life.\" -Maggie Anton, author of Rashi's Daughters. Jacob Dinezon (1852?-1919) is considered the \"Father of the Jewish Realistic Romance.\" Translated from the Yiddish by Jane Peppler and edited by Scott Hilton Davis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486621581490,"sku":"9780979815676","price":22.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/e458c2cb10d6fab12182c22bcd916dca.webp?v=1779313675","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/hershele-a-jewish-love-story-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
