 Mah-Jongg – The Tiles That Bind

With mah-jongg, two seemingly unrelated cultures in America--Chinese and Jewish--converge. Mah-jongg has been played in Asia since the time of Confucius. In the early 1920s an English language version was imported to the United States and quickly picked up by urban Jewish women, who learned it from friends and relatives in immigrant neighborhoods. For the women who play, the game provides a constant source of amusement as well as a unique support network for life, love and loss.
