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.
