Was Tevye a masochist? Was Menakhem-Mendl a scoundrel or an idealist? How DID the man from Buenos-Aires make his living? Could there possibly be a system of Yiddish orthography that would account for all dialectical pronunciations? Double issue #350-351 of the Yiddish cultural/literary magazine Afn Shvel: "In Honor of Sholem Aleichem's 150+ Birthday," published by the League for Yiddish, will, in its 60 pages, answer many of these questions, and more.
