Fiddling on the Roof: Legacy of Tevya, Golde, and Sholem Aleichem

Hosted By: New York Adventure Club

Explore the life and works of Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich, who published under the pen name of “Sholem Alecheim” (Yiddish for “peace be unto you”) with the original intention of showing how Yiddish was not just the “language of the streets,” but one that could also be used to tell serious stories.

Recording will be available for one week after the event.
