''A Bintel Brief'' was a Yiddish advice column, starting in early 20th century New York City, that anonymously printed readers' questions and posted replies. The column was started by Abraham Cahan, the editor of ''Der Forverts'' (The Forward) in 1906. Recent Jewish immigrants predominantly from Eastern Europe, asked for advice on various facets of their acculturation to America, including economic, family, religious and theological difficulties.〔Steven Bayme, ''(Understanding Jewish History: Texts and Commentaries )'', p.354〕 In Yiddish, ''bintel'' means "bundle" and ''brief'' means a "letter" or "letters". It was a part of some people's lives to such an extent as are radio and television today. It has been the subject of books,〔 ''A Bintel Brief: Sixty Years Of'', by Isaac Metzker, ISBN 978-0-8052-0980-8, published by Schocken 1990, reviewed by (Amazon ), New York Times Book Review, New Yorker and others 〕 essays,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.directessays.com/viewpaper/8496.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.essaygalaxy.com/papers/92/357749.html )〕 a graphic novel〔(‘A Bintel Brief’ Is Liana Finck’s Graphic Book of Letters ) New York Times Book Review〕〔(A new comic illustrates the desperate missives sent to an immigrant advice column in old New York ) Slate.com Book Review〕〔(Liana Finck, A Bintel Brief ) lianafinck.com〕 and a Yiddish play. Much as "to Xerox" could be described as a commoditization of a trademarked name, the term "A Bintel Brief" has been known to be used as a generic description. The original printed Yiddish format continued at least until 1970.〔 http://www.tcr.org/tcr/essays/EPrize_Bintel.pdf, p. 4, sourced from ''The Concord Review'', p. 216. On page 221, under "IMPACT", it is claimed that "A Bintel Brief" is considered by many historians to be the precursor to the nationally syndicated Ann Landers column."
