Synopsis

**The Brothers Ashkenazi** (1936) is a novel by *Israel Joshua Singer*. Written in Yiddish, it first appeared serially in the Jewish daily Forward between 1934 and 1935, after Singer had left Poland and moved to New York. It was published in book form in Poland in 1936, the same year in which Knopf published an English translation by Maurice Samuel. It was at the top of The New York Times Best Seller list along with Margaret Mitchell's [Gone With the Wind](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL267933W). In 1980 a new translation was published by the author's son, Joseph Singer. (from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brothers_Ashkenazi))
