Today is the Yahrzeit of my grandfather, R' Nison Gordon, and I'd like to share with you a conversation I had my father, R' Larry Gordon, about R' Nisson.

R' Nison traveled from Poland when he was 18-years-old to report on life in New York City as the American correspondent for a Polish newspaper.

Later he would became a well know Yiddish writer, writing for "The Day," "The Day Morning Journal," and "The Algemeiner Journal," during a career that spanned over 45 years.
