Talk:Sholem Aleichem

message: Jose Ramos says that accent on Russian name is not necessary. But the very fact that we disagree on the accent position is the evidence to the contrary. To most Russians, it is more natural to put accent on the third syllable (Rabinóvich). It is better to find out the correct accentuation than to remove it. — Monedula 12:03, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: I've found several references to Sholom Aleichem which lists his name as being Solomon Rabinowitz, while this article identifies him as Sholem Yakov Rabinowitz -- which name is accurate? Are both? Kevyn 10:39, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Sholom appears to be an alternative spelling of Solomon. Britannica uses the same name as us: "Sholem Yakov Rabinowitz" Bogdan | Talk 09:42, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Under the Sholem Aleykhem entry in the Reader's Encyclopedia of Eastern European Literature (1993), Aleykhem's annual journal is called Di yidishe folksbiblyotek.  The form used in the article (Die Yiddishe Folksbibliotek) seems closer to German.  I do not know Yiddish; which spelling is considered normal?  Or is there no standard orthography?

thread_title: Yiddish spelling

message: Although this article is titled "Sholom Aleichem", with a single exception in the text and another in an image caption, every time the name appears in the article it is spelled "Sholem Aleichem". For the sake of internal consistency, I am going to change the two alternate occurrences and, for the same reason, feel that the article should be moved to "Sholem Aleichem". The text correctly notes that there is no general agreement about the romanized form of the name, but "Sholem Aleichem" is the most frequently encountered alternative in anglophone academic discourse and is therefore also most appropriate for the Wikipedia. Unless there are any objections, I'll move the article to that heading in a day or two. --Futhark|Talk 08:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another issue is the hyphen. Shouldn't it be used in English ("Sholem-Aleichem") as it is used in Russian and Hebrew? --Mlang.Finn (talk) 14:17, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The text on the monument says one thing, the current version of the article and the title page of SA's story collection say another. Futhark, you say that "שלום־עליכם" is how he spelled his own name. Citation, please?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.41.111.232 (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, you've mistranscribed the monument, which doesn't use the final form mem. The cover page in the article includes SA's own signature in the traditional Yiddish orthography. Details about the reforms introduced in the Soviet Union are illustrated specifically with SA's name in the article on Yiddish orthography --Futhark|Talk 20:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: While I don't have the expertise to make any claims about Yiddish orthography, your statement about the text on the monument is patently incorrect. Take a closer look -- the letter used in both parts of SA's name is definitely a mem sofit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.41.111.232 (talk) 06:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I think we need to change the article to Shalom. Sholem is a corruption. Why stop here? Why not Shoilem, Shuilem, or a dozen other possible variations in use?
Shalom is the correct one that needs to be changed to. Besides, "Sholem" just sounds lame and stupid --KpoT (talk) 13:58, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sholem is the pen name he chose for himself. You're welcome to feel that it was lame and stupid but that doesn't change the encyclopedic fact. Futhark|Talk 17:04, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because in his day Hebrew wasn't yet fully artificially revived for every day use. --KpoT (talk) 22:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Can we add this when confirmed (see external link at that article.)

message: I notice that this article states that Sholem adopted his pen name for the first time at the ages of both 15 and 24. At what time did he really adopt his pen name? 184.158.28.2 (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

message: The Ellis Island website shows that he arrived in NY in 1906 together with his wife Olga and son Numa.
This can clearly be seen in lines 21 to 23 of the ship (the Saint Louis) manifest. (See link below.)

message: It is strangle that there is very little info about Sholem Aleichem's family. Five minutes ago I added infor about his brother, who publishes a memoir about his famouus sibling.
HEre is a piece in RUssian  wioth some more extended family of the writer. Its footnote says that Rabinovich family had 12 children (without further detail and refs). Loew Galitz (talk) 05:42, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
