Running Time: 75 minutes Director: John Lollos Language: English, Yiddish Portraits of two icons–Sholom Aleichem and Theodore Bikel–are woven together in this engaging documentary.

Narrated by Alan Alda, the film combines Bikel’s charismatic storytelling and masterful performances with a broader exploration of Aleichem’s life and work, all shot through with humanity and Yiddishkeit!
