Back
Zemale, the hero of Shalom Aleichem's Jewish shtetl, wants to study music.
He encounters the adult world, the humiliations of matchmaking, the ridicule of the hungry klezmer musicians...
The child has nightmares, but music wins in the end.
The musical "Alei Kinor" was first produced in 1975 at the young Beer Sheba Theater, directed by Hanan Snir. Doron Tavori was chosen at the time for the role of Zemale. The musical, directed by Snir, was staged again at Habima in 1989.
Director Rafi Niv, who was a child in the days of
the young Beer Sheba Theater, remembered
the enchantment of the musical and staged it
in his own version in Beer Sheba, 2004.
This production was filmed in its entirety on video.

Since 2005 many children's choirs have begun to perform the musical regularly in Israel.

Since the love for this musical burst within the education system, it began to be used for productions in schools in Israel. One of the peaks of this trend is reflected in the fully staged production initiated by the Hess Elementary School in Petah Tikva (13.6.2011). The format created there can be seen as a prototype for the musical in its educational version.

Tsippi Fleischer's music in the style of the musical – rare evidence of her talent in this field.
