For more than eighty years the Jewish Daily Forward’s
legendary advice column, “A Bintel Brief” (“a bundle of letters”)
dispensed shrewd, practical, and fair-minded advice to its readers.
Created in 1906 to help bewildered Eastern European immigrants
learn about their new country, the column also gave them a forum
for seeking advice and support in the face of problems ranging from
wrenching spiritual dilemmas to petty family squabbles to the
sometimes hilarious predicaments that result when Old World meets
New Isaac Metzker’s beloved selection of these letters and
responses has become for today’s readers a remarkable oral record
not only of the varied problems of Jewish immigrant life in America
but also of the catastrophic events of the first half of our
century.
