Happy Birthday to Joe Dorman, director, "Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness"! 2011 VIDEO INTERVIEW by Bob Andelman
JOSEPH DORMAN podcast excerpt: “Sholem Aleichem was a terrible, terrible businessman. He was very different from the men and women he was documenting or writing about. He was an assimilated Russian Jew. He lived in a large city, Kiev, for much of his life. And he had the luck of inheriting money from his father-in-law, who was a wealthy man. A lot of the reason he was playing the stock exchange was to support his Yiddish writing habit.”
