In Those Days is a novel written by Jehudah Steinberg. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the story of a Jewish family living in a small town in Eastern Europe. The family is faced with many challenges, including poverty, anti-Semitism, and the looming threat of World War I. The novel explores the themes of family, tradition, and the struggle to maintain one's identity in the face of adversity. The main character, Yosef, is a young boy who is forced to grow up quickly in order to help his family survive. He is torn between his love for his family and his desire to escape the poverty and oppression of his town. The book is a poignant and powerful portrayal of the Jewish experience in Eastern Europe during a tumultuous time in history.In the darkness of that night the rabbi never ceased talking to us, swallowing his own tears all the while. He told us the story of Joseph the righteous. It had been decreed in Heaven, said the rabbi, that his brethren should sell Joseph into slavery. And it was the will of the Almighty that Joseph should come to Egypt, to show the Egyptians that there is only one God in Heaven, and that the Children of Israel are the chosen people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
