The Jews waited 4,000 years. for Crisco? Aimee Levitt © Image: From The New York Public Library (Fair Use) Any Jew will tell you that it’s hard to be a Jew, and that includes the Jews who arrived in America from Eastern Europe in the early 20th century.

Still, there are always problems, and in the New World they were more existential. In the Old Country, Jews were, for the most part, kept apart from the rest of the population, confined to specific areas, and aside from forced conscription into the tsar’s army, they didn’t identify as citizens of any particular nation. But in the new world, they were Americans, too, and suddenly they had two identities to navigate.
