Description
Summary:	Master teacher Ruth Wisse brings the stories of Tevye the Dairyman alive like never before. In this third story, "Today's Children," we finally begin to explore the famous romances of Tevye's daughters and the effect they have on Tevye. Tevye is eager to marry off his girls to wealthy and learned men. But Tevye faces a dilemma when Tsaytl, his eldest daughter, begs him not to force her to marry Layzer Wolf, a wealthy butcher. Instead, Tsaytl has fallen in love with Motl Komzoyl, a lowly patch tailor at the very bottom of the Jewish social and professional hierarchy.
