The Sholom Aleichem Network, Inc. is a not for profit corporation. Projects of the Network include the web site, publication of books and writings in Yiddish and other languages, digitized original material, optical character recognition, contemporary translation of the corpus, a database of the archives and a searchable index.

Sholom Aleichem, Yiddish literature's most beloved author, was one of the very few modern writers who speaks for an entire people. Born in Russia in 1859 as Solomon Rabinovitz, he died in New York in 1916. He created many memorable characters, including Tevye (who you may know from the adaptation of his work in "Fiddler on the Roof"), Motel "The Cantor's Son", Menachem-Mendl and many others.

This web site is dedicated to his life and work.
