Between Two Worlds - Book Discussion Tevye the Dairyman In-Person
Sholem Aleichem, the pseudonym of Sholem Rabinovitch (1859-1916), was one of the greatest Jewish writers of modern times, a pioneer of literary fiction in Yiddish who transformed the folk materials and experiences of Eastern European Jews into classics of world literature. His most beloved character, Tevye the Dairyman, became the protagonist of stage and film adaptations, including the Broadway musical and film Fiddler on the Roof, securing his place in popular culture worldwide; even before that, though, Sholem Aleichem's stories featuring Tevye were appreciated as brilliant comic distillations of modern Jewish experience.
Space is open to all who wish to attend. The first 15 to register will receive a copy of the book to keep.
This event is part of Between Two Worlds, an ongoing series inspired and supported by the Yiddish Book Center. Between Two Worlds is an exploration of memory, belonging, language, and written and oral storytelling, through the lens of Yiddish culture and the many worlds of Easthampton.
