Reviews

Lilach Rosenberg-Friedman gives a penetrating understanding both of the day-to-day lives of Jewish families in Mandatory Palestine, shedding new light on one of the Yishuv's major problems: internal population growth. --Margalit Shilo, author of Girls of Liberty: The Struggle for Sufferage in Mandatory Palestine
