Summary:

Master teacher Ruth Wisse brings the stories of Tevye the Dairyman alive like never before. In 1909, after returning from a stay in America, Sholem Aleichem released the penultimate chapter of the Tevye narrative: "Tevye Leaves for the Land of Israel." This story tells the tale of Beilke, Tevye's youngest daughter, and upends many of the tropes we have come to expect. With her mother dead and her father in need of support, Beilke marries not for love, but for the status and wealth that Tevye once thought he craved.
