CHRISTIAN AND
JUDAIC DIALOGUE
Anti-Semitism is older than Christianity, but to neglect anti-Jewish charge in New Testament and church practice means to consciously sin against truth.

TEVJE IN BRIGHTON

ALEXANDER BURAKOVSKY

The play "Tevje Tevel" (author G.Gorin, producer S.Danchenko) staged after the story of a Jewish classic Sholom-Aleikhem "Tevje-milkman" has never been performed in America. It has finally arrived in New York together with the I.Franko Ukrainian theatre, which previously performed this play almost 300 times in different cities and countries each time drawing full houses. Organizers and sponsors of this premiere apprehended people (Brighton is mostly populated by the Russian-speaking) would not attend the performance as it is played in Ukrainian. But the doubts were ungrounded.
