Description
Summary:	Master teacher Ruth Wisse brings the stories of Tevye the Dairyman alive like never before. Five years after the publication of "Tevye Leaves for the Land of Israel," the situation of Russia's Jews was continuing to worsen. On top of widespread pogroms, they were being expelled from many Russian towns, and the infamous blood libel had made a reappearance in the form of the 1913 trial of Menahem Mendel Beilis. In "Lekh-Lekho," the last of Sholem Aleichem's Tevye stories, Tevye finds himself in similarly dismal circumstances. In this last lecture, Professor Wisse looks at the stubbornly hopeful and redemptive side of Tevye.
