I loved this! It was thoughtful and melancholy, tangling with modern Yiddishists’s occasional romanticizing of the old Jewish world. It was also very cool to read a book all about beginning to explore some history and fumbling and losing track of it, then with an endnote about how to learn more on your own! It was a fast read but hits deep.
