"Vividly capturing a bygone New York, 'Rifka Takes a Bow' also celebrates the enduring pleasures of childhood...Written in English, it offers a charming tribute to the droll cadences, reassuring logic and irrepressible humor of Yiddish itself." *The New York Times Book Review*

"A memoir told with love and nostalgia....Unusual and unabashedly charming." starred, Kirkus Reviews
