| Summary: | Master teacher Ruth Wisse brings the stories of Tevye the Dairyman alive like never before. The fifth episode in Sholem Aleichem's Tevye stories records the shattering of Tevye's relationship with his once-favorite daughter, Chava. 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. |
