Sholom Aleichem, the pen name of Sholom Rabinowitz (1859–1916), became the most widely read writer in the history of Yiddish literature by the end of the nineteenth century. His stories about Tevye the dairyman became the basis for the hit musical, Fiddler on the Roof. Curt Leviant is the prize-winning author or translator of more than twenty-five books. His latest novel is Me, Mo, Mu, Ma & Mod; or, Which Will It Be, Me and Mazal, or Gila and Me?
