When The Chickens Went On Strike: A Rosh Hashanah TaleSholem Aleichem; Erica Silverman
ISBN: 9780525468622
Publisher: Dutton Childrens Books Publication Date: 2003 Binding: Hardcover One Rosh Hashanah, a boy overhears some chickens planning a strike. They are sick of being used for Kapores, the New Year custom in which people swing a live chicken over their heads, hoping to erase their bad deeds. When all of the chickens run away, the women try to coax them back with grain, the men try to get them back with force, and the rabbi tries to negotiate. Finally the boy pleads, "Without Kapores, I will never be able to make my papa proud." A chicken responds, "Boychick, for this you need a chicken?" This amusing and telling story about wise chickens and foolish villagers will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever wanted to be a better person. |

Nineteen to the Dozen: Monologues and Bits and Bobs of Other ThingsSholem Aleichem
ISBN: 9780815604778
Publisher: Syracuse Univ Pr Publication Date: 1998 Binding: Hardcover Nineteen to the Dozen is some of the most innovative writing by a master Yiddish writer; much has never before been translated into English. The author of twenty-eight Yiddish novels and other works, Sholem Aleichem is best known for having inspired Fiddler on the Roof. His artistic vision was rooted both in the shtetl and in the city of Kiev, where he produced stories at a high literary level. This book epitomizes his ability to evoke the voices of Yiddish speakers. In each of these monologues written between 1901 and 1916, a man or woman comes forward to tell the story. The implied listeners -- a rabbi, a doctor, or the author himself -- say virtually nothing. Aleichem pretends to have has transcribed these private performances for the reader's benefit. Five women and seven men tell their own tales. They are rich and poor, educated and ignorant. These narratives provide a unique portrayal of Eastern European Jewish society, and they go a long way toward demystifying the shtetl, which has too often been the object of undue nostalgia. |
