WHAT DOES SHOLEM ALEICHEM MEAN TO YOU?


Sholem Aleichem’s Ethical Will was that his work be read out loud and enjoyed in the community on the anniversary of his death.

We invite you to read a favorite passage of Sholem Aleichem aloud and share it with the community by uploading audio, video, or a written reflection. Learn how to participate by reading the instructions on the Call to Action page.
