Editing Tevye (section)

==Stories==
''Tevye the Dairyman'' comprises eight stories, with Tevye each time supposedly meeting Sholom Aleichem by chance and relating the latest tale of his trials and tribulations.  They have been published in translation under the following titles:<ref>{{Citation | first = Sholom | last = Aleichem | others = [[Hillel Halkin]] transl | publisher = [[Schocken Books|Schocken]] | year = 1987 | title = Tevye the Dairyman and The Railroad Stories | series = Library of Yiddish Classics | isbn = 0-8052-1069-5}}</ref>
# ''Tevye Strikes It Rich'' (also translated as ''Tevye Wins a Fortune'' or ''The Great Windfall'')
# ''Tevye Blows A Small Fortune'' (also translated as ''The Roof Falls In'' or ''The Bubble Bursts'')
# ''Today's Children'' (also translated as ''Modern Children'')
# ''Hodel''
# ''Chava''
# ''Shprintze''
# ''Tevye Leaves for the Land of Israel'' (also translated as ''Tevye Goes to Palestine'' or ''Tevye is Going to Eretz Yisroel'')
# ''Lekh-Lekho'' (also translated as ''Get Thee Out'')

Not all the events of the stories are depicted in ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]'', the best-known adaptation. For instance, by the time of the events of ''Lekh-Lekho'', Tevye's wife Golde, his daughter Shprintze, and his son-in-law Motl have all died; also in ''Lekh-Lekho'', upon learning of the Jews' expulsion, Chava leaves her [[Russian Orthodox]] husband, wanting to return to her family and share their exile. Aleichem leaves it to the reader to decide whether or not Tevye forgives her and takes her back, saying:
{{Blockquote | Put yourself in Tevye's place and tell me honestly, in plain language, what you would have done… ''(Hillel Halkin translation)''.}}

and ending the story with "The old God of Israel still lives!"

A 2009 translation includes a final short story titled ''Vachalaklokos'' that takes place after ''Lekh-Lekho''.<ref>{{Citation | first = Sholom | last = Aleichem | others = Aliza Shevrin transl | publisher = [[Penguin Books|Penguin]] | series = [[Penguin Classics|Classics]] | year = 2009 | title = Tevye the Dairyman and Motl the Cantor's Son | isbn = 978-0-1431-0560-2}}</ref>
