For a real bargain, while you're making a living, you should make also a life.--Aaron Bronson. In 1920, in small town America, the ubiquitous dry goods store--suits and coats, shoes and hats, work clothes and school clothes, yard goods and notions--was usually owned by Jews and often referred to as "the Jew store." That's how Stella Suberman's father's store, Bronson's Low-Priced Store, in Concordia, Tennessee, was known locally. The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in that tiny town (1920 population: 5,318) of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware, one barber shop, one beauty parlo

Title: A stunner
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2016
Review: This book is a stunner. More than anything I've read before, "The Jew Store: A Family Memoir" affords a vivid sense of the lives of those Jews who, seeing economic opportunity in the rural South of the early 20th century, left their extended families in eastern cities and sought their fortunes in small rural towns of the American South, a world of WASPs. How such people lived has always intrigued me, and I've read many memoirs that chronicle their experience. Most have been stories either of successful accommodation or even integration into a new culture. Some have been stories of an alienation even in the face of economic success.

In "The Jew Store" Suderman does a remarkable job of showing the clash of these two views within a family and the effects they have on children, thereby providing a vibrant, complex view seldom developed. Born in the South after her parents moved to West Tennessee to open a low-price dry goods store, Suderman sees and describes in rich detail the views both of her ambitious, optimistic Russian-born father, thrilled at the opportunity to advance economically, and her anxious, fearful Russian Jewish mother, burdened with the sense of her Jewishness and the virtual impossibility of preserving her heritage in a land peopled only by gentiles. This battle that lies at the heart of her memoir gives it the shape and tension of a novel---a novel that is almost impossible to put down. The Bronson's story is told with humor and wit and a decided attention to revealing details. Suderman gets the language down perfectly (What Southerner ever said "Ku Klux Klan," for instance? It's always "Klu Klux Klan"). She also gets the mannerisms and customs. What she tells, one senses, is the distillation of a family's stories told and retold, each time with a pleasure that recreates a past.

In one sense, the drama played out in the Bronson household is not substantially different from that played out in America in its early years and thereafter. In the 1830's and 1840's, for instance, both Virginia and South Carolina lost population as members of the rising generation struck out for the newly opened lands of the Old Southwest. Diaries and letters show the grief and bitter loneliness the women experienced in leaving their homes, where they had been surrounded and supported in their roles by local custom and family, and moving to a hard life their grandparents had known. The men, however, expressed no yearning for home. In letters, they repeatedly made clear they wanted to be free of family and custom and the obligations those imposed on their behaviors. They were exhilarated by the chance to establish themselves as individuals, something the constraint of family custom and mores made difficult. The same pattern was seen further north, for instance, as Connecticut emptied itself into the Western Reserve. It's an American pattern. Led by the desire for economic improvement and independence, men are invigorated by such moves. Women, on whom the burden of transmitting the family culture falls, yearn for the support of their mothers and grandmothers.

Yet the Bronsons' experience also differs from the average American transplant's experience. For the Bronsons are Jewish, and the place to which they move, solidly Christian and Protestant, run by a clatch of petty men united by prejudice and property and an interest in the status quo. And the family's internal drama is matched by their outside maneuverings within that place. Whether Aaron Bronson would even be permitted to rent a store space had nothing to do with his ability to pay rent, everything to do with one of the town bullies and bigots. And then, the store stocked and ready for its first day's opening, the question of whether the KKK would permit townspeople to buy there remained in doubt until mid-morning. Without the guidance and affection of the woman to whose house they were directed for shelter when they arrived in town and with whom they lived for several years, Miss Brookie, they might not have made it. While a native and member of an old family, Miss Brookie had studied at the University of Chicago, where she had a Jewish roommate, known a world bigger than the town limits. Miss Brookie was a woman, however, and thus her power was limited. And Miss Brookie was sui generis in Concordia,TN.

A WASP myself, though from a place and time in the South very different from the world of rural west Tennessee, I confess I was surprised by Reba Bronson's view of Gentiles, which was only scarcely less bigoted than the town's view of its black citizens or of Jews . It was virtually intransigent. In time she made friends in the neighborhood and town, but always uppermost in her mind was the worry that her children were not getting the proper Jewish upbringing, that they must not take up the ways of their gentile friends, that everybody in the family kept in mind that Concordia, TN, was only a temporary arrangement. Home was New York City and the Bronx and a world of first-generation Jewish mothers and grandmothers---and a Rabbi's wife to serve tea and advice to them. Everything from sweet pickles to iced tea struck her not merely as differences in regional tastes, but as a major violation of ethics and decency. In her mind, Jewish meant civilized. Her provincialism contrasted sharply with the broader and more benevolent views of her husband, but he had business: she had the family.

As a Southerner, I was also interested in aspects of this book only tangentially related to the story. In my lifetime and where I've lived, the KKK has always been a joke. In the seventies and eighties and perhaps even now, a group gathered every now and again on the city hall square of a nearby city to protest something, but nobody paid any attention to what, and I don't think many remembered a time when the group had held the power they held in 1920s Concordia, TN. The very title, "The Jew Store," shocked my sensibilities. And I still find it hard to imagine that little children were told Jewish people had horns. Growing up in a area whose major city was a river city, I'd known people from all sorts of ethnic groups, all of them proud of their heritage. So the world this book opened was novel. I'd read of it in history books, but that was bloodless knowledge. In this book that world pulsed.

I finished "The Jew Store" five days ago, but it lives in my head and, I think, will continue to live there, shaping my view and understanding of the world. That's what really fine books do.

Suderman vividly portrays the viewpoints of both her mother and her father, and so

Review: Having grown up in the South during the 1950s there is much in the Jew Store that I can relate to. All my friends were gentiles until my mother decided I should go with Jewish kids. She made me join a Jewish sorority which I detested. I always received an invitation to the cotillions and was the only Jew at the restricted country club as well as the only Jew in my entire school. It was hard. It was isolating but it made me realize that all humans are essentially equal.

Title: A too-tepid exploration of Jews, whites, and blacks in small-town Tennessee in the '20s and '30s
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2014
Review: Although written as a memoir, "The Jew Store" is mostly narrative history, fictional to the extent that virtually all of its content, including copious supposedly verbatim conversations, is taken second-hand from the author's family and neighbors, since the author was a toddler or very young child during much of the period. Until the couple decides to leave the fictional town of "Concordia" in order to make possible the future marriages of its teenage children to Jews, the narrative seems lifted verbatim from the pages of diaries written by others, which it may well have been.

While "The Jew Store" may be one of the better books written about small town stores run by Jews, it fails to portray adequately the family's conflicting emotions between staying in Tennessee and returning to New York City to live entirely among Jews. Mother Bronson's attitude is left in no doubt--she is quoted at length on the social advantages of Jews living among Jews (even though her language borders on the illiterate and her behavior is frequently obnoxious)--but the conflicting emotions that Miriam, Mr. Bronson, and the author herself experience are left too vague for the reader to adequately share the family's ambivalence, as if the author were afraid to dwell too long on feelings that cross religious boundaries or, on the other hand, acknowledge the existence of peculiarly "Jewish feelings" at all.

The climax of the book, and by far its best section, describes the saving of the town's only factory at the outset of the Great Depression by Aaron Bronson at a town meeting. Faced with a $45,000 mortgage payment it cannot make, the shoe company that owns the factory must close it, laying off its 175 workers and decimating the town's economy, unless it can somehow come up with money it doesn't have. Two or three of the town's gentile elite volunteer donations of $100 at the outset of the town meeting, but after that initial flurry, the payment seems well outside the realm of possibility until Aaron Bronson offers $5,000 and challenges others in the room to match it. Soon, others make $5000 donations, and with Bronson on record as donating nearly half of the amount needed, payment of the mortgage enables the factory to remain open throughout the Great Depression without bankrupting the shoe company or Bronson. No wonder Bronson doesn't want to leave, but where are his speeches on the subject? Where are the feelings that tie him emotionally and financially to the white and black Christians who in the blink of an eye have made him a free, happy, and wealthy man?

Let it be said that this book is called "The Jew Store" because it centers on a family of people who cannot really be understood apart from their Jewishness. If they were typical of small town Jewish retailers in the first half of the twentieth century, it is news to me. My Jewish grandparents also Anglicized their names and owned and operated dry goods stores in small southern towns with their relatives, but their English was grammatical, they recognized that their Christian neighbors had more in common with them than not, and they thus adopted retailing as well as social practices identical to those of their Christian neighbors on Main Street. If they were closer in spirit to the (Christian) proprietors of this book's upscale Dalrymple-Eaton store, it is because they belonged to an earlier generation and had had many more years to become assimilated in America than the Bronsons. With the exception of father Aaron, who is especially articulate and would really have been welcome in any American social group, these Bronsons belong to the lower or lower-middle class (especially Mrs. Bronson), and their relations with their Concordia neighbors suffer inevitably as a result. Such people need to live in proximity to their own kind. If the author acknowledges this only tacitly, it may be because she fears to offend.

"The Jew Store" is worth reading, I think, but the topic will not be exhausted until someone unafraid to betray equally both Jewish insularity and Christian xenophobia in favor of a shared humanity re-writes this book and says what Stella Subermann and her relatives dared not.

Review: I should preface with I read a lot! I’m not particularly picky on the genre, or even the subject. I enjoyed this book. Growing up in a small community on the California coast, I lived a life with no prejudices so I was really unaware of the struggles of those who faced hate or dismissive attitudes only because of color, ethnicity, religion. I do gravitate towards books that give me some feeling of understanding of what others have faced. It bothers me, but we, who lived a life without knowledge can only gain from understanding the lives of others.
