> As many of you know, my husband Dan Schifrin¹s
> great-grandfather Abraham Coralnik was a famous
> Yiddish writer and editor of Theodor Herzl¹s
> newspaper. Dan¹s grandmother, Beatrice Papo, spent the
> past 15 years translating her father¹s writings from
> Yiddish into English, hoping to introduce his work to
> a new generation of readers. Along the way, Dan became
> his grandmother¹s editor.

> The essays have now been published. The two volumes
> are both called "Across the Great Divide: The Selected
> Essays of Abraham Coralnik.² Volume I is on
> ³Reflections on Jewish Civilization," and Volume II is

> Montaigne and the hidden Jewish communities in Central
> America.
