Description:
Faygala, age 17, lived in Russia in 1904 in troubled times when the Cossack soldiers periodically ransacked her Jewish village; and the Czar’s officers periodically raided to seize men for the army. To avoid all this, many fled to America. Faygala’s family was planning to join her father in the “golden country” as soon as he sent enough money for ship and train passages and for Ellis Island fees and proof of support requirements. But suddenly due to personal danger, Faygala was forced to make the daunting journey alone with people she barely knew. Departing was extremely painful for her, especially leaving a certain young man behind. The thought of never seeing him again tore at her heart. Along the way she faced many difficulties causing her to fear she would never reach her dear father.
This 94 page novelette is written by Faygala’s late daughter-in-law as Faygala told it to her over the years. Be drawn into Faygala’s poverty stricken, Orthodox Jewish life in Russia. Learn some Yiddish! Experience the chaotic scene at Ellis Island. Worry with her when her father isn’t there. Feel her amazement upon seeing all the wonders of “modern” America.
