Summary

For this Rebecca Rubin bonus, we chatted with Leah Sauter. Leah works as a historian, educator, and translator extraordinaire. In addition to generously sharing her own experience with Rebecca, Leah shed light on the significance of having Jewish American Girl as part of the historical collection. If you've wondered about Rebecca's puzzling bagel choices or what Grandpa Shereshevsky was reading in the newspaper, this episode is for you. This show also provides further context on events happening leading up to Rebecca's timeline, such as a real housewives' meat boycott/riot that occurred in New York in 1902.
