Extractions: Abraham Cahan The 1890s were a dark era for many Jews. Between 1887 and the outbreak of World War I, more than 2 million Jews came to America. Most were poor and came from what are now Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and other centers of Eastern European Jewish life. The new arrivals clustered in unsanitary tenements, worked long hours in sweatshops and open air markets, spoke mainly Yiddish and possessed few skills with which to enter the English-language labor force. They faced religious prejudice and the challenges of adapting to an unfamiliar environment. The Forward became a leading advocate for these Jewish immigrants. Named after the great Social Democratic newspaper in Berlin, the Forverts appeared on the streets of New York in April 1897, written entirely in Yiddish. Its first editor was 37-year-old Abraham Cahan (1860-1951). Cahan had clear ideas about the kind of paper he wanted to edit. He wanted the Forward Cahan made the Forward Forward A beacon for immigrant acculturation into American life, under Cahan the Forward never lost its pro-working class orientation or its thirst for social justice. What it did lose, inexorably was much of its Yiddish-speaking readership, which today is only a tiny fraction of what it was in the 1920s. The contemporary children and grandchildren of that earlier generation of Forward readers have emerged as American, and Americanized, Jewish leaders. Cahan would have been proud. The

Extractions: In the history of our people's sojourn in America, many Jewish authors have been recognized by their Gentile counterparts as literary equals. Indeed, by the middle decades of the twentieth century, American-Jewish intellectuals with the names of Alfred Kazin, Leslie Fiedler, Henry Roth, Delmore Schwartz, Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, and others had clearly become primi inter pares ("first among equals"). Today, so accepted is the Jew in the society of American letters, the singling out of an "American-Jewish" author seems unnecessary, out-date, even obsolete. And yet, there was a definite beginning to this process of acculturation, which included the translation of a Yiddish heritage to the kultur of America. That translation may be traced, both literally and symbolically, to the person of Abraham Cahan (1860-1951). Cahan, a typical Eastern European immigrant fleeing the Russian pogroms of 1881, was to the newly arrived Jew in America what Shmuel Agnon was to the masses who settled in Palestine/Israel. A journalist, an editor, an author, a socialist leader, Cahan quickly assumed the literary leadership of a Jewish community brimming with intellectual fervor and social discontent. His first book, Yekl, A Tale of the New York Ghetto (1896), was praised by William Dean Howells as the harbinger of a "new New York." Having achieved distinction among the literati, Cahan would continue his furious and pointed penmanship. This culminated in two directions: as editor of the Yiddish paper, the Forward, and as author of a number of novels.

To address these topics, I require I. Howe and E.

Extractions: Cahan, Abraham 1860-1951, Russian-American journalist, Socialist leader, and author, b. Vilnius, Lithuania. He emigrated to New York City in 1882, entered journalism, and helped found the Jewish Daily Forward (1897); as editor in chief after 1902, he made it the most influential Jewish daily in America. He was a founder of the Social Democratic party in 1897 and after 1902 supported the Socialist party. Active in spreading socialist teachings among Jewish workers, he encouraged the unionization of East Side garment workers and supported them in their strikes. Cahan's writings in English, particularly Yekl: a Tale of the New York Ghetto The Imported Bridegroom and Other Stories (1898), and The Rise of David Levinsky (1917), are recognized for their historical portrayals of the immigrant experience. He also wrote, in Yiddish, (5 vol., 1926-31), an autobiography.

http://college.hmco.com/english/lauter/heath/4e/students/author_pages/late_ninet

Extractions: Abraham Cahan has been described as the single most influential personality in the cultural life of well over two million Jewish immigrants and their families during his lifetime. As a journalist and writer, his unique ability to mediate among the various sensibilities and languages of the Lower East Side in New York City placed him at the center of American Jewish culture and Jewish writing. His major fictional works, Yekl (1896) and The Rise of David Levinsky (1917), are widely recognized as classic accounts of the immigrant experience of Americanization. Born in Podberezy, Russia, Cahan was educated at traditional Jewish cheders and also studied at the Vilna Teachers Institute, a Russian government school for Jewish teachers. After graduating in 1881, he began teaching and at the same time became deeply involved in radical, underground anti-czarist activities. Forced to flee, he joined a group of immigrants bound for America and arrived in Philadelphia on June 5, 1882. The next day he reached New York, where his religious training proved useless and secular success beckoned. In 1890 he became editor of the weekly Arbeiter Zeitung
