Sholem Aleichem, Agnon!

Sholem Aleichem, Agnon!

Join R. Jeffrey Saks for a 3-part series exploring connections between Jewish literature’s greatest Yiddish author and its greatest Hebrew author. What do Sholem Aleichem and S.Y. Agnon have to say about Judaism’s transition into modernity, the condition of faith, the plight of poverty, and so much more?  What do these great authors, and Tevya the Dairyman and Reb Yudel Hasid, have to say to each other – and to us?
