Journal Article
\Rambowitz\ versus the \Schlemiel\ in Leon Uris' Exodus
1999
Overview
In \"Tough Jews: Political Fantasies and the Moral Dilemma of American Jewry,\" Paul Breines has distilled a warlike conception into an archetypal figure whom he pithily labels \"Rambowitz. In Leon Uris' \"Exodus, Rambowitz-like characters are juxtaposed with their polar opposite, a type characterized by a wealth of wonderfully onomatopoetic Yiddish words. Gonshak discusses this figure, a kind of \"anti-Rambowitz,\" with perhaps the best-known term from this linguistic group: schlemiel.
