Abstract:
Discusses American motifs in American Hebrew literature, with a focus on four works: Reuben Wallenrod's novel "Ki fanah yom" [published in English as "Dusk in the Catskills"; on Jews who are vacationing in the Catskills while the Holocaust is being perpetrated in Europe]; Hillel Bavli's poem "Mrs. Woods" [about an elderly woman (not Jewish) and her way of life in the countryside]; Israel Efros' poem "Vigvamim shotkim" ["Silent wigwams") [about the love between a native American (Indian) woman and a white man, and about the Indians' way of life]; and Ephraim Lisitzky's ballad-like works about the Negros in the South, including about their preachers' speeches on stories from the Hebrew Bible.
