The World of Sholom Aleichem

This omnibus release consists of three stories filmed and aired during television's Golden Age. Each tale is adapted from a work by Sholom Aleichem, who is often compared to Mark Twain for his contributions to Yiddish literature. The playlets include "A Tale of Chelm," starring Zero Mostel and Nancy Walker, which tells the story of a bookseller and his goat.

Another segment, "Bontche Schweig," features Jack Gilford as a poor man who arrives in Heaven. The final tale, "The High School," stars Gertrude Berg and Morris Carnovsky, focusing on a Jewish merchant's decision about his son's education amidst quota restrictions. This collection originally aired as part of The Play of the Week and showcases prominent actors of the time, making it a unique entry in the realm of televised drama.
