Impressions of Isaac Bashevis Singer

Gloria Fein - tour guide at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam - recounts meeting Yiddish writer Isaac Bashevis Singer: how she taught him a Yiddish word, how he was the first Jewish vegetarian she ever met, and how she later ran into him while on a trip to Israel.

I don’t know if Jewish vegetarians were rare back then, but when I was growing up there were several vegetarian Jewish restaurants in NYC, the one I remember more clearly (we’re talking 60 years ago or so) was the Palm, or the Palm Tree on B’way near Union Square.
