I wanted to like these stories, but they are all so damn depressing!

5.0

An amazing collection of Yiddish short stories. Definitely check out "The Calf" by Mendele Mocher Sforim, "Ne'ilah in Gehenna," "Bontsha the Silent," and "If Not Higher" by I L Peretz. "White Chalah" by Lamed Shapiro and "Repentance" by I J Singer are also highlights for me.
