'JEWISH ADVENTURES IN AMERICA' LATEST BOOK BY ELMA LEVINGER
BY   MILDRED   TARSHISH
Against a background of American history, Elma Ehrllch Levinger haa sketched In and highlighted those Jewish characters who were part of that history In her newest book, "Jewish Adventures Iij America," recently published by Bloch.
Coming during the celebration of the Tercentenary, it Is the story of 300 years of Jowiah life in the United States. In Writing this volume, the author, nationally known for her numerous books and ploys.for children and adults, haa followed a unique approach. She presents her story, wherever poaaible, through thi' biographies of Jewish men and women who have plnyed some ¦ part in creating Jewish history In America. i
IT READS AT TIM^S like fiction, but in eVery Instance the author has carefully documented her facts acknowledging her thanks to thc research of Jewish acholara, inspired by the Tercentenary, who have unearthed many new and thrilling bits of information.
Not only doea one meet the old familiar friends--Judas Touro, Haym Solomon. Rebecca Grati, Emma Lazarus and others—but many now ones. The reader becomes aware of the diversity by which the Jewa of America have mado their contribution to the cause of demo¬ cracy and freedom. The history of the Jews of America is the hiatory of America itself for from the arrival of Columbua to the present day the Jew has known, pochaps better than anyone, the meaning of free¬ dom and the price one must pay to achieve It.
MBS. LEVINGER HAS SKETCHED the growth of tho early settlements of New York, Newport, Charleston and Phlladolphia and the spread of Jewish Ufe to all parta of the country. Columbus is cited OS a typical city In which both town and business grew up together and she has pictured the original and the present-day Lazarus store as an example of that growth.
iJira. Levinger is to be congratulated for making another contri¬ bution to an already valuable collection of volumes. She is tiie wife of Rabbi Lee J. Levinger, who waa the first director of the Ohio State Univeraity Hlllel Founciation.
Thoy are now living In Los Altos, Calif.
