Isaacs wrote this memoir of his years of study in Maimonides College in Philadelphia, which he refers to as the "Hebrew Home School' in "Home Town." It existed from 1867 to 1873 and was the first Jewish theological seminary in the United States. Isaacs's father, Rabbi Samuel Myer Isaacs (1804-1878), of New York City, helped establish it.
