Meet the Mormon “Fiddler on the Roof”: A Discussion with Culture Writer Mira Fox and Members of the Cast

When Brigham Young University put on “Fiddler on the Roof,” culture writer Mira Fox couldn’t hold back her curiosity — a Jewish show being put on by a Mormon university?

What followed was months of reporting, flying out to Provo, Utah to speak to the cast, sit in on rehearsals and see the performance.

Join Mira and cast members Peter Morgan, Nikole York and Emma Larsen to discuss the play, the article and the relationship between their church and Judaism.

“Lakhn iz gezunt" — A Comedy Show That’s All in Yiddish

Join the Forverts for an all-Yiddish online comedy hour with Rabbi Barry Schechter, of Skokie, Illinois, who regales viewers with delightful jokes in mame-loshn that he’s collected over the years.

Rabbi Schechter has appeared on the radio in Chicago and Washington DC and headlined the program “Is Comedy Dead?” – a Christmas Eve event at a Chicago funeral home. Although he’s interspersed his acts with Yiddish words and phrases, this is the first time he’s doing it all in Yiddish.
