The study analyzes the first decades of the Yiddish advice colum A Bintel Brief. Created by Abraham Cahan, it ran as the most enduring feature in the New York Yiddish newspaper Forverts. The early letters and responses in A Bintel Brief reveal the hardships of uprooted Eastern European Jews in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century.
