Chava falls for a Chvedka, a decent man—Sholem Aleichem even compares him to Maxim Gorky, a Russian author and activist he admired—but not a Jew. In Czarist Russia, where civil marriage did not exist and the Orthodox Church and the Czarist government were heavily intertwined, Chava must convert to Christianity if she wants to marry Chvedka. She does so, irreparably severing her relationship with her father and family. While Chava appears to best Tevye in every argument, Tevye does not budge. Here, we finally see where Tevye draws the line with his daughters, as he decides to mourn Chava and break off all contact, ignoring her pleas. In this lecture, Professor Wisse explores Tevye’s response to his daughter’s conversion and intermarriage and contrasts it to the more conciliatory conclusion in the American dramatic adaptation, Fiddler on the Roof. Drawing on the themes of Sholem Aleichem’s original, Professor Wisse discusses how even in an era in which we prize universalism, it is vital to defend the particularistic attachment to Judaism and Jewish peoplehood, even at the highest of prices.\n
