"Tananbaum focuses on the local sphere of London life. (...) she provides a fresh perspective on the story of the various communal institutions which sought to “improve” the lives of the Jewish poor in London, covering, variously, public health, communal networks, education – both secular and religious – clubs and settlement houses, and so on."- Laura Vaughan, UCL, UK
