Tevye at Tel Aviv University

On July 21, 2024, Tel Aviv University celebrated the conclusion of the recent Sholem Aleichem studies sponsored by the Rosa Lubin Scholarship program, created by Dr. Mark Zilberquit, the founder our website. This program, founded in 2023, will be continued in the upcoming school year.

Before the event, Dr. Yair Lipshitz and Dr. Ruthie Abeliovich who led the studies and performances related to Sholem Aleichem’s famous story series Tevye the Dairyman, expressed their gratitude to Dr. Zilberquit:

Dear Mark,

We had a wonderful time, and the students were exceptionally enthusiastic and devoted to the materials. Their love for Yiddish culture was felt throughout the process, and we are deeply grateful to you for the opportunity to cultivate it with them.

Due to the war and the current situation in Israel, our final event will be rather intimate in nature. Our students will present their responses to the materials through analytical papers and performances, and we very much look forward to see what they will bring.

We are attaching the poster for the event, and do hope that we will have the opportunity to have you with us in future years’ concluding events!

Thank you again for your generous support,

Yair and Ruthie
