It chronicles Frieden's early years in Eastern Europe, his subsequent migration to the United States, and, finally, his settlement in Palestine in 1921. The memoir appears here translated from its original Hebrew, edited and annotated by Frieden's grandson, the historian Lee Shai Weissbach. Frieden's story provides a window onto Jewish life in an era that saw the encroachment of modern ideas into a traditional society, great streams of migration, and the project of Jewish nation building in Palestine. The memoir follows Frieden's student life in the yeshivas of Eastern Europe, the practices of peddlers in the American South, and the complexities of British policy in Palestine between the two World Wars. This first-hand account calls attention to some often ignored aspects of the modern Jewish experience and provides invaluable insight into the history of the time. 410 0$aStanford studies in Jewish history and culture. 606 $aJews$zLithuania$vBiography 606 $aJews, Lithuanian$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aJews, Lithuanian$zIsrael$vBiography 606 $aZionists$zIsrael$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews 615 0$aJews, Lithuanian 615 0$aJews, Lithuanian 615 0$aZionists 676 $a320.54095694092 676 $aB 700 $aFrieden$b Menachem Mendel$f1878-1963.$01048801 701 $aWeissbach$b Lee Shai$f1947-$01047724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462902803321 996 $aA Jewish life on three continents$92477321 997 $aUNINA
