Shall I write Menachem-Mendl article?
[edit]- How Can Tevye Forgive Menachem Mendl? On Betrayal, Theft, and Forgiveness in Sholem Aleichem’s “The Roof Falls In”
- "The return of Menachem Mendel: Sholem Aleichem as a political commentator": "Sholem Aleichem's collection of political feuilletons, Menachem Mendel. Der tsveiter tom (Menachem Mendel. The second volume). The feuilletons were published in the newspaper Haynt (Today) in Warsaw in 1913."
- The Further Adventures of Menachem-Mendl by Sholem Aleichem, Aliza Shevrin
Not to be confused with Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Tevye figured out that his "second cousin once removed" Sholom Aleichem: A Non-Critical Introduction p.10 is a "a fly-by-night, a who knows what, a wheeler-dealer, a manipulator". also . etc. Loew Galitz (talk) 06:24, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
redirect
[edit]@Altenmann, you redirected Boiberik and Boyberik here, even though this is a different fictional shtetl. I'm not sure it makes sense? Maybe we need a disambiguation page to disambiguate the summer camp from the fictional Aleichem location? I know the fictional location came first and is of more literary significance, but I daresay the defunct summer camp is the primary topic at least by the preponderance of Google results.

- I thoroughly despise Wikipedia's idea of "primary topic" since the very early years when Madonna (disambiguation) was written. And I dislike the idea of google being an arbiter in such things. Google is notorious of creating "online media echo chambers" and self-fulfilling prophesies. --Altenmann >talk 19:27, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
- OK, but the fact stands that it doesn't really make sense for Boiberik to redirect to Kasrilevka when that isn't even the same place. Andre🚐 19:37, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
