This is the story of Jewish youth in upstate New York during the
fin-de-siecledecade of the nineteenth century. Ginsburg details
periods of transition for these youths, such as exploring life at
various Jewish orphanages, where children were sheltered, educated,
and taught trade skills to support themselves thereafter. He
profiles The Jewish Tidings, a weekly journal that ran from 1887 to
1897, which heralded itself as "A Fearless Exponent of Progressive
Judaism!" and polarized Eastern European Jewish immigrants from the
predominantly German-Jewish brethren. Ginsburg rounds out his
examination of Jewish life during the fin-de-siecle era by
profiling figures such as a rabbi and a Jewish match peddler in
Syracuse, as well as the Young Men's Hebrew Association and the
Jewish Chautauqua Association. Ginsburg, a native of Syracuse, New
York, delves into the history of Jewish youths during this era with
interest and enthusiasm.
