I want to support\nyou through it all. \nBrooke Bendix\, AM\, LCSW  is the founder of Therapyology and a Licensed\nClinical Social Worker who specializes in individual and group therapy for\nkids\, teens and adults. Brooke has over 16 years of clinical experience\,\ntraining\, and education in the field of social work and child development.

SUMMARY:Fiddler On The Roof: From The Pale Of Settlement To The Broadway Stage with Dr. Avi Blitz
DESCRIPTION:FIDDLER ON THE ROOF: FROM THE PALE OF SETTLEMENT TO THE BROADWAY STAGE with\nDr. Avi Blitz\nZOOM \nTHURSDAYS\, 7:30 – 8:45 PM\nNov 7\, 14\, 21; Dec. 5 \nExplore the world of author Sholem Aleichem\, the man whose stories inspired\nthe Broadway musical\, Fiddler on the Roof. Begin by reading The Railroad\nStories and consider what kind of world Sholem Aleichem inhabited. Read the\ntales of Tevye the Dairyman and consider how each of Tevye’s daughters\nrepresents a different future for the Jewish people.

Finally\, we will watch Tevya\, a\n1939 Yiddish film adaptation of the stories\, which we will compare with the\n1971 film of the Broadway show. Dr. Avi Blitz will be our guide as we compare\nhow the Broadway musical changed the original stories to align with Jewish-\nAmerican realities and explore the ways in which the play speaks to a\nuniversal immigrant experience in the United States.**** \nTuition: $80 \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/8599 \nClick here to join the livestream. http://jlearn.online
