Welcome to The Jewish Street . Using the iconic "Jewish street" (die Yidische gas) as a metaphor, the editors have assembled a collection of more than forty stories highlighting the complex relationship Jews have forged with city life. This anthology addresses the diversity and creativity of the Jewish urban experience over nearly five centuries from India to Odessa, South Africa to Los Angeles, and points between. The Jewish Street mixes works by well-known authors with hidden gems by lesser-known writers, some never before collected in an anthology of Jewish writers.
