		While the streets of the Lower East Side in no way resembled the sandy wilderness through which the children of Israel stumbled for forty years, waiting for the waning of the generation that had known slavery, the terms of the American narrative boldly resemble the Jewish rendition of the mythic wandering in the desert.

		Since so much of the invention of the Lower East Side developed after the majority of Jews who had ever lived there had moved beyond its borders, it was in their memoir literature that the notion of loss sounded most sharply and ruefully.
