This book of short stories, first published 100 years ago, is a fascinating kaleidoscope. The translations are excellent and read well. Since the stories are by a large variety of authors with many different points of view, they are not all equally good.  They range from tear-jerkers to humor, and give a real feeling for what life was like for Jews both in Europe and in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
