Breaking tradition, the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene will perform “Fiddler on the Roof” in a different tongue.
Directed by Oscar and Tony Award-winner Joel Grey, the new Yiddish translation transforms the beloved musical, which captures the mindset of Jews in the shtetl at the turn of the 20th century. Enjoy a preview performance 7 p.m. July 12 at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Tickets are $36. To purchase tickets or find more information, contact Roberta Caplan (212) 453-9446, or at [email protected].

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
