		The family, which was devoutedly Orthodox, removed in 1866 to Wilna; and there young Cahan received the usual Jewish preparatory education for the rabbinate.
		Cahan was either originator, collaborator, or editor of almost all the earlier socialistic periodicals published in that dialect; and he is still connected with the daily organ of that section of the socialists with which he is in sympathy.
		Cahan quickly mastered the English language; and four years after his arrival in New York taught immigrants in one of the evening schools.

	Abraham Cahan
		Cahan was born in Vilna, Lithuania, and emigrated to the United States in 1882.
		Cahan believed that his paper must “interest itself in the things that the masses are interested in when they aren't preoccupied with the daily struggle for bread.” Twice he resigned as editor, once staying away for several years, because he could not agree with the paper's backers about its editorial content.
		Cahan reflected, “It is as important to teach the reader to carry a handkerchief in his pocket as it is to teach him to carry a union card.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: The Rise of Abraham Cahan
		Abraham Cahan was born in a small village near Vilna (the city that Napoleon had called "the Jerusalem of Lithuania") into an Orthodox family.
		When the czar was assassinated in St. Petersburg in 1881, Cahan and his friends were in danger of arrest, so he fled his provincial teaching post and joined a group leaving for the United States at the very beginning of the mass exodus of Eastern European Jews to America.
		Although best known as an editor and journalist, Cahan wrote well‑received fiction for 25 years, in which mediation and transitions between seemingly irreconcilable cultures among the immigrants of his generation were to be a major theme.

	Untitled Document
		In a career that spanned six decades as an author, journalist, and editor, Abraham Cahan served as a beacon of guidance for the rapidly expanding Jewish immigrant community.
		Cahan left and returned to the paper several times in a five-year period before the publisher afforded him the latitude that he desired as editor.
		Cahan's works are particularly pertinent to historians because his stories offer a realistic view of how many immigrants, especially in the Jewish community, struggled to assimilate themselves into American society.

		Cahan, a typical Eastern European immigrant fleeing the Russian pogroms of 1881, was to the newly arrived Jew in America what Shmuel Agnon was to the masses who settled in Palestine/Israel.
		But it was Cahan's literary acceptance, despite his somewhat stiff and formal rendition of the English language, that underscored the book's seminal importance.
		Cahan provided the prosaic springboard for Jewish authors who did not even call themselves "American-Jewish writers." Yet, only 17 years later, in 1934, Henry Roth was to produce a work that was to be compared favorably to the writing of James Joyce.

		Abraham Cahan’s The Rise of David Levinsky is a better reflection of Jewish life in American surroundings than all American-Yiddish fiction put together.
		The book is especially interesting to Americans since the author sets out with the manifest purpose of taking the American reader by the hand and showing him through all the nooks of the Ghetto.
		Cahan’s work as editor of The Jewish Daily Forward and as literary critic, his novel, and his subsequent attack upon American fiction constitute a bold challenge to American novelists.

		Although Cahan was first and last a newspaperman, he wrote what is still considered one of the best fictional accounts of the American immigrant experience: The Rise of David Levinsky.
		Written in English (as were all the novels and stories covered in Abraham Cahan) and published in 1917, the novel tells the story of the title character's rise from poor Hebrew scholar in Russia to successful businessman in America and of the psychological and spiritual price he pays for neglecting his emotional life.
		Interestingly, in spite of Cahan's sympathies with the plight of his fellow Jews, he did not practice his religion, but embraced socialism and promoted it as a means to help Jewish immigrants achieve social and economic security.

		The final pages of Abraham Cahan's The Rise of David Levinsky (1917) offer the most poignant expression of self-division in immigrant writing in late nineteenth-century America.
		In Abraham Cahan's "The Imported Bridegroom," we will see an ethnic subject's attempt to confront himself as an actor in the world of his past and the world of his present, each of which seems complete and unchangeable.
		Although ethnic subjects have been seen as offering a kind of antidote to an alienated identity because they are supposed more intrinsically "real" and "authentic," such an interpretation is less an antidote to alienation than a recognizable form of fetishism, which is in its economic form also a figure of alienation.
