Oyfn Sheydweg (At the Crossroads) is a 1930 novel by Eli Schechtman. It is his first published work.
The novel describes the decline of the shtetl after the October Revolution.[1] Sсhechtman's heroes go through difficult times of “crossroads”; to the place described by Shekhtman, the revolution “doesn’t drive along a wide highway, but drags heavily in gardens, rolls down a mountain, leaning against the Jews like a thundercloud”.[2]
