A portrait of Sholem Aleichem in the Polish-Jewish press

Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue

Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to present and describe the reception of Sholem Aleichem’s portrait in the Polish-language Jewish press published in 1918-1939. The basis is created by such serial publications as “Nowy Dziennik” (Krakow), “Chwila”, “Nasza Opinia” (Lviv), “Głos Żydowski”, “Nasz Przegląd” (Warsaw). The aspects connected with the role of Sholem Aleichem as a theatre creator were discussed separately. It was important to point out the first attempts to research a theoretical discourse in the Jewish press about the Jewish humour to give the definition and characteristics (Jakub Appenszlak, Gerszon Lewin and Elchanan Cejtlin).
