Reflecting the political milieu of the time, Sholem Aleichem incorporates a young Jewish communist into the story. When Tevye comes across this young idealist, Pertchik, he is drawn to Pertchik’s grit, intellect, and honesty—so Tevye invites him to dinner. Soon, Pertchik meets Tevye’s second daughter, Hodl: an avid bookworm and budding intellectual. The two fall in love. However, unlike the first three Tevye stories, this one ends in heartrending tragedy. As Professor Wisse points out, the prospect of revolution often split Jewish communities and families—and Tevye’s home is no exception. When Pertchik is arrested and sentenced to time in a labor camp for his revolutionary activities, Hodl decides to go with him, leading to a heartbreaking ending in which she bids her father farewell for the final time. In this lecture, Professor Wisse guides us through the rich emotional subtext in this story. We will explore Tevye and Pertchick’s similarities and differences, the prevalence of Marxism within Russian Jewry, and the impact of modernity on Hodl—a daughter who is more interested in scholarship than homemaking, and who rejects a traditional Jewish life in favor of revolutionary idealism.\n
