Rebbe's Daughter Memoir of a Hasidic Childhood

Malkah Shapiro (1894-1971) grew up in Poland, the daughter of a noted Hasidic master. The Rebbe's Daughter tells her story: a rare glimpse of the world of the Hasidic Jew in pre-World War I Eastern Europe. There is much discussion about father-daughter interactions, girls' education, Polish-Jewish relationships, holidays and local customs, and folk-healing practices. Shapiro's tale, translated and presented in Rabbi Polen's capable hands, is poetic and sensitive, providing a rich and inviting history for its readers.Shapiro, Malkah is the author of 'Rebbe's Daughter Memoir of a Hasidic Childhood', published 2002 under ISBN 9780827607255 and ISBN 0827607253.
