Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich (??????? ???????? ?????????), better known under his pen name Sholem Aleichem (Yiddish and Hebrew: ???? ?????, also spelled ?????????????? in Soviet Yiddish, [???l?m a?l?jx?m]; Russian and Ukrainian: ??????-????????) (March 2 [O.S. February 18] 1859 – May 13, 1916), was a Yiddish author and playwright who lived in the Russian Empire and in the United States.[1] The 1964 musical Fiddler on the Roof, based on Aleichem's stories about Tevye the Dairyman, was the first commercially successful English-language stage production about Jewish life in Eastern Europe.
The Hebrew phrase ???? ????? (shalom aleichem) literally means "[May] peace [be] upon you!", and is a greeting in traditional Hebrew and Yiddish.
