The image is a page from a program for a play, featuring the title "The World of Sholom Aleichem" in bold black text at the top. The page is divided into two columns, with the left column containing a quote from Sholom Aleichem and the right column listing the cast and crew.

Left Column:

  • The quote is written in black text and reads: "In his will Sholom Aleichem wrote: 'There are to be no discussions or debates among my friends about the perpetuation of my name or the erection of a monument or the like. I should not be able to rest in my grave if my friends were to play the fool... The best monument will be selecting one of my stories - the most hilarious - and reading it aloud in whatever language people use, think, such a "monument". We will remember not only Sholom Aleichem (at his most hilarious), but also Isaac Loeb Peretz, the other great master, and Yiddish humor as a whole. The World of Sholom Aleichem will try to bridge the two cultures, Jewish and English, to relieve in some measure, the irritant in peoples' lives when they bear a friend say "Oh, you don't understand Yiddish." Then I can't explain the joke.' The evening is a slice of Jewish culture in English, presented warmly, richly, without loss, we hope, of its special taste and with its full flavor of wit, humanity and compassion. We have long felt that a culture of sion vitality and contemporary meaning should be the possession of all. Three one-act plays will be given: - The first, a dramatization of certain occurrences among a Melamed, his wife, a Rabbi and a Goat - in the famous Jewish town of Chelm. - The second, a one-act version of Peretz' greatest short story, Bontche Shvayg. - The third is Sholom Aleichem's Gymnasium, or The High School. The whole evening is unified by a narrative character and by music, and will present a picture of Jewish life in the latter part of the 19th century, the world of Sholom Aleichem."
