"The Dybbuk" is a 1960 television production of the Russian play The Dybbuk by Sholom Ansky, which was authored between 1913 and 1916 and is considered a Yiddish classic, with Cambridge University Press calling it "probably the most performed of any Yiddish play". It was directed by Sidney Lumet for The Play of the Week from an adaptation into English by Joseph Liss. The program, starring Carol Lawrence (who had just become a star after playing Maria in the original Broadway production of West Side Story), aired on October 3, 1960.
