In this autobiographical work specifically mentioned in Issac Bashevis Singer’s Nobel Prize citation Singer remembers his childhood in Warsaw and especially the bet din or Jewish Court in his father’s home on working-class Krochmalna Street. Advice seekers and petitioners making wills or seeking marriage settlements daily visit the rabbi in his study. In a world on the brink of modernity Singer’s gentle learned father and his mother equally pious but eminently practical maintain a stubbornly traditional existence. In My Father’s Court is a tribute to their efforts and a fine evocation of life in early-twentieth century Warsaw.
