The Destiny Path
By Hanken, Dianna
I was alone. I had always had this feeling since I can remember. And even though I was seen as friendly, outgoing and personable, inside I was dying. Always feeling like I didn't fit in, or that people didn't understand me. Or essentially that I didn't even matter. My family didn't really know me, nor did my husband. And I certainly didn't choose friends that did. On the outside, it all seemed to be going well. I was raised in a two-parent household, had three siblings, married a guy I met in college, had no debt, had a successful career selling real estate, had no problems getting pregnant, had two beautiful boys, and traveled. There were long stretches in my life where I was "happy." I am a serial optimist, so I made the best out of everything.

New York's Yiddish Theater
By Nashon, Edna
In the early decades of the twentieth century, a vibrant theatrical culture took shape on New York City's Lower East Side. Original dramas, comedies, musicals, and vaudeville, along with sophisticated productions of Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Chekhov, were innovatively staged for crowds that rivaled the audiences on Broadway. Though these productions were in Yiddish and catered to Eastern European, Jewish audiences (the largest immigrant group in the city at the time) , their artistic innovations, energetic style, and engagement with politics and the world around them came to influence all facets of the American stage. Vividly illustrated and with essays from leading historians and critics, this book recounts the heyday of "Yiddish Broadway" and its vital contribution to American Jewish life and crossover to the broader American culture.
