'Ghetto Comedies' is a collection of short stories by Israel Zangwill that captures the essence of Jewish life in small communities. From a grandmother who despises her non-Jewish daughter-in-law to a pianist who breaks free from the ghetto and joins the Western art world, each story is told from a unique perspective with love and affection for the characters. Follow Samuel Cohen becoming S. Cohn, the dictionary in distress, and an 84-year-old orthodox woman courting Moses, among many others. These are stories that will make you laugh, cry, and see the world through different eyes.
