Abstract:
Bernard Malamud is considered one of the most prominent figures in Jewish American literature, a movement that began in the 1930s and is known for its combination of tragic and comic elements. This paper's aim is to show that the Jewish point hasn't disappeared despite the mistaken American Jewish way to integrate between beliefs and lifestyle. Here I will focus on one of the most powerful personas in the American Jewish map who correlates to this phenomenon. It is the well-known author, Bernard Malamud. The comparison is between his biography to his own written literature, as it turns out from two of his short stories: "The Jewbird" and "Magic Barrel". In that way I mean to show that he had some sort of life philosophy, but he didn't followed it. However, it shows us the power of our holly soul- even modern people has some sort of knowledge and respect to Judaism.
