{"product_id":"9780979815676","title":"Hershele: A Jewish Love Story","description":"When Hershele, a poor but brilliant yeshiva student, is invited for a weekly charity meal by a rich widow, he comes face-to-face with Mirele, the widow's pretty, bright, and strong-willed daughter. As the two innocently come to know each other, they fall in love. Are they \"bashert\"-soul mates destined to be together? Or will rigid class differences, shtetl politics, and a ruthless marriage broker tear them apart? This bittersweet love story, written in 1891, provides a vivid and insightful exploration of our great-grandparents' lives in 19th century Eastern Europe: how they lived, how they loved, and how they tried to remain faithful to their Jewish way of life in the face of modern ideas and a changing world. \"A poignant look at the trials and triumphs of young love in the shtetl. Jacob Dinezon's lyrical story brings this bygone world to life.\" -Maggie Anton, author of Rashi's Daughters. Jacob Dinezon (1852?-1919) is considered the \"Father of the Jewish Realistic Romance.\" Translated from the Yiddish by Jane Peppler and edited by Scott Hilton Davis.","brand":"Jewish Storyteller Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49785222529264,"sku":"9780979815676","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780979815676","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
