Publisher's Synopsis
In 1880 a young Hungarian rabbi named Moses Weinberger arrived in New York City. Seven years later, he described-and deplored-a world turned upside down, where ""people walk on their heads."" In what has become a classic example of Jewish immigrant protest literature, Weinberger urges American Jews to defend their faith more forthrightly. Jonathan Sarna's translation captures the essence of Weinberger's lively, often bitingly satiric prose; and his introduction provides context for the work.
