The Sholem Aleichem Bobblehead Doll
He is a central figure in Yiddish literature and one of the most beloved — and prolific — Yiddish writers of all time. And now he is available in miniature form.
The Sholem Aleichem Bobblehead Doll is a 7-inch, full-color, “fabulously packaged,” wobbly-headed replica of the man who wrote such masterpieces as “Motl, the Cantor’s Son” and “Tevye’s Daughters,” and whose stories inspired the musical “Fiddler on the Roof.” The dolls, which are currently in production and will be ready in early September, are available through Jewish Currents, the magazine of the Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
