Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich, better known under his pen name Sholem Aleichem was a Yiddish author and playwright.[1] The 1964 musical Fiddler on the Roof, based on his stories about Tevye the Dairyman, was the first commercially successful English-language stage production about Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The Hebrew phrase שלום עליכם (shalom aleichem) literally means "[May] peace [be] upon you!", and is a greeting in traditional Hebrew and Yiddish.[2]

I want to read more of his stories. Watched Out of Africa and realized I need to read Isaac Dinesen too.
