Event

Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness
Sholem Aleichem, the Jewish Mark Twain and a key figure in the vibrant Yiddish Renaissance movement, nostalgically captured Yiddish-speaking life in the villages and towns of Eastern Europe. A rebellious genius, Sholem Aleichem lived a life as full of ups and downs as those of his colorful characters. This riveting portrait illustrates the central theme of his work, to preserve Yiddish culture during a tumultuous period marked by pogroms and the assimilation of many Jews into the rapidly-industrializing secular culture. Special insights into "Tevye, the Milkman," the original "Fiddler on the Roof." This wonderful film is a New York Times Critic's Pick
