Abraham Cahan 1860-1951 Biography Project by Randy Hudgins, Fall 2003 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 was born in Lithuania in 1860. While attending college, Cahan developed into an ardent Socialist. Following his graduation in 1881, he took a position as a teacher. His Socialist views would bring him under government scrutiny following a popular uprising in 1882. In order to escape persecution for his political beliefs, he immigrated to the United States. After arriving in the United States, Cahan worked several factory jobs. His experiences as a factory worker, combined with his Socialist political views were to have a profound effect on his writing style. During the mid-1880's he became active in the Jewish community by helping to organize labor unions and making speeches on pertinent issues. He chose to deliver these speeches in the vernacular Yiddish, so his message would be more readily understood by audiences he was trying to reach. He also became a contributor to several Jewish newspapers. It was through his contributions to these newspapers that his work began to be recognized and published. His first major work was Yekl: A Tale of the New York Ghetto , published in 1896. This was followed by

Abraham Cahan Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. As a journalist and fiction writer, Abraham Cahan explored the social, cultural, and spiritual tensions of the Eastern European Jewish immigrant experience in New York. His sensitive treatment of the dual identities of Jewishness and Americanism, and of issues of accommodation and acculturation, made him an influential spokesperson for his community. Born into an educated, Orthodox Jewish family in a small village near Vilna, Russia, Cahan trained to become a teacher. By the time he graduated from the Vilna Teachers' Institute in 1881, he had embraced the socialist cause and had become involved in radical intellectual circles. Because of these connections, he came under suspicion for anti-Czarist activities and was forced to flee Russia for the United States. Upon arrival in America, Cahan settled in New York's Lower East Side, at that time a neighborhood inhabited mainly by immigrants, including a large population of Eastern European Jews. He soon became a leading figure in the community, lecturing on socialism, organizing labor unions, teaching English to other immigrants, and writing stories and newspaper articles in Russian, English, and

Abraham Cahan Biography Project by Ivan Lupov, Fall 2003 Abraham Cahan was born on July 7th, 1860 in the historic for Jewish culture town of Vilna, shtetl of Podberezya, Lithuania. He was the son of Schachne and Sarah Goldarbeiter Cahan, both Hebrew teachers, and the grandson of Rabbi Jacob of Nementchin. During his high school years, Abraham self-educated himself in various academic fields of study and enters the Vilna Teachers Institute. He graduated from the institute in 1881 with a teacher's diploma. As time went on he became affiliated with an anti-tsarist organization, which caused him strenuous tensions with the authorities. The tensions reached their peak when Abraham moved to a new school in the town of Velizh where he was suspected of illegal anti-tsarist activities. In an attempt to safe his life he decided to flee to Switzerland but circumstances lead him on his way to America. Cahan arrived in New York on June 6th, 1881. Initially he worked at a tin factory but with his intellectual background that period of his life lasted for very short time. Quickly he began teaching English at the Young Men's Hebrew Association and also he wrote his first article, published on the front page of the New York World. Again his political focus was directed against tsarist Russia and he pleaded for the release of young Russian revolutionaries. It was in 1890 when he was sent as a delegate to the Second International Socialist Congress and met with Frederick Engles, which confirmed his socialist ideology.

Abraham Cahan (1860-1951) Contributing Editor: Daniel Walden Classroom Issues and Strategies Students need to understand the following: (1) the Eastern European Jewish culture out of which Cahan came; (2) New York City as a fast-changing urban and technologized environment in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; and (3) the nature of ethnicity in the context of the forces of Americanization. To address these topics, I require I. Howe and E. Greenberg, Introduction to Treasury of Yiddish Stories (for the European culture), and Moses Rischin, The Promised City: New York's Jews 1880-1920 , for the culture of New York City. For an introduction to Cahan as a realist, see Jules Chametzky, From the Ghetto and Sanford Marovitz, Abraham Cahan I also use the following films: The Inheritance (a documentary made by Amalgamated, 1964). The Distorted Image (a set of slides on stereotyping by B'nai Brith, Anti-Defamation League). The Chosen (film of Chaim Potok's novel). Hester Street (film of Cahan's novel, Yekl The Pawnbroker (film of Wallant's novel).

Abraham Cahan The 1890s were a dark era for many Jews. Between 1887 and the outbreak of World War I, more than 2 million Jews came to America. Most were poor and came from what are now Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and other centers of Eastern European Jewish life. The new arrivals clustered in unsanitary tenements, worked long hours in sweatshops and open air markets, spoke mainly Yiddish and possessed few skills with which to enter the English-language labor force. They faced religious prejudice and the challenges of adapting to an unfamiliar environment. The Forward became a leading advocate for these Jewish immigrants. Named after the great Social Democratic newspaper in Berlin, the Forverts appeared on the streets of New York in April 1897, written entirely in Yiddish. Its first editor was 37-year-old Abraham Cahan (1860-1951). Cahan had clear ideas about the kind of paper he wanted to edit. He wanted the Forward Cahan made the Forward Forward A beacon for immigrant acculturation into American life, under Cahan the Forward never lost its pro-working class orientation or its thirst for social justice. What it did lose, inexorably was much of its Yiddish-speaking readership, which today is only a tiny fraction of what it was in the 1920s. The contemporary children and grandchildren of that earlier generation of Forward readers have emerged as American, and Americanized, Jewish leaders. Cahan would have been proud. The
