Like the collection of Menachem-Mendl’s letters, the stories in Tevye the Dairyman were originally published separately and then collected and published in book form. The stories are all monologues, in which Tevye is supposedly addressing Sholom Aleichem himself, and in them Tevye presents himself as a folksy philosopher, frequently quoting the Bible and other religious texts, although his references are always connected to the concerns of everyday life.

It is our hope that you will take a moment to read this lovely book and join us for a lively discussion.  Book Club leaders are volunteers and book suggestions are welcome.  

If you have a book idea, please contact the Chicago Loop Synagogue office at (312) 346-7370 or email caryw@chiloopsyn.org.
