In 1894, Sholem Aleichem published “Tevye Strikes it Rich,” the first in what would become of a series of short stories offering a window into the lives of Jews in the Russian Pale of Settlement. Tevye, the narrator and protagonist of the series, bears a striking resemblance to his author. Like Sholem Aleichem, Tevye is a Jewish father who struggles to provide for his daughters. But Tevye is not your run-of-the-mill shtetl Jew. His misapplied biblical quotations, his lack of involvement in the middleman-heavy shtetl economy, and his decision to live in the town of Boiberik rather than the nearby shtetl of Anatevka all reflect an atypical way of life, more reflective of Sholem Aleichem’s proto-Zionism than traditional Jewish custom. At the same time, however, Tevye is steeped in tradition, narrating his story in Yiddishisms and Jewish references sure to be familiar to Sholem Aleichem’s audience. In this first lecture, Professor Wisse unpacks these complexities, shedding new light on the stories that have captivated Jewish audiences to this day.\n
