Abstract:
Meises is the Yiddish word for “stories.” However, for a story to truly be a meiseh, it must tell the tale of real events involving real people in the storyteller’s life. In this book, the author shares her favorite Meises about her favorite people – her family and friends – with an occasional visit from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Golda Meier, and other unexpected guests. Beginning in Brooklyn, New York in the 1930’s, then on to England, Greece, Holland, Switzerland, and Jerusalem, Meises takes the reader on the humorous, poignant, and entertaining journey that is Bernice Weston’s life.
