To capture the spiritual and intellectual ferment that animated Polish Jewry in those interbellum years, the author weaves memories of his youth into the story of the Jewish world he knew in his native Lodz. From his roots in the pietistic world of Ḥasidism and his later immersion in a secular Zionist high school, he invokes programs of "salvation" that shift from passive submission to God's will to political, social and national activism"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive brief record update service 24 June 2024 599 Shelved at 48-5-4 600 10 Shmueli, Ephraim, |d1908-1988. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jews |xIdentity. 650 0 Hasidim |zPoland |zŁódź |vBiography. 651 0 Łódź (Poland) |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Łódź (Poland) |xSocial life and custorms. 651 0 Łódź (Poland) |xEthnic relations. 651 0 Łódź (Poland) |vBiography. 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Shmueli, Gila, |d1946- |etranslator. 765 08 |iTranslation of:Shmueli, Efraim, 1908-1988 |tBa-dor ha-Yehudi ha-aḥaron be-Polin. |w(DLC)86174792 776 08 |iOnline version:Shmueli, Efraim, 1908-1988 |tWith the last generation of Jews in Poland |dBrookline, MA : Cherry Orchard Books, 2021 |z9781644695999 |w(DLC) 2021033456 852 0 |breceiving |kShelved at 48-5-5
