My paternal side is Litvak, my mother�s Yekke, arriving in the USA back in 1868.
Oma never accepted my mother marrying a peasant from the east(with a college degree and a family that arrived in 1872).
There were strict negotiations before the wedding 80 years ago. OPA insisted that the male offspring would wear taleisim from Bar Mitzvah and the �gutter� language Yiddish not be uttered in his presence
