"A Rabbi who praises himself has a congregation of one." Absolutely right.

May the Lord protect and defend you. May He always shield you from shame. May you come to be in Israel a shining name. May you be like Ruth and like Esther. May you be deserving of praise. Strengthen them, Oh Lord, and keep them from the strangers' ways. May God bless you and grant you long lives. May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you. May God make you good mothers and wives. May He send you husbands who will care for you. May the Lord protect and defend you. May the Lord preserve you from pain. Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace. Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. Amen.

This movie has some of the most beautiful music.

I love how this scene shows how much Tzeitel is like her mother. They’re both practical, strong-willed women

I love how much Tevye loves all his daughters ^_^

When Motel looks up at Tzeitel when Tevye sings "May he send you husbands who will care for you." Gives me chills every time.

Meet Golde, star of The Real Housewives of Anatevka.

Golde's sideeye at Perchik during the "stranger's ways" is priceless.

Tevye's "amen" solo is chilling.

"A poor tailor is entitled to some happiness " i love that line

Every single shot in this film has meaning. One of the best examples of meaningful cinematography ever.

Rest In Peace Topol. You took this one role… and made it your life. And what a role! (March 8, 2023) 😢❤

The camera angles, the camera shots, the camera movement, priceless, masterful.

Though not Jewish, I cannot help but pay homage to the beautiful prayer scene. It shows the sacred tradition of the Sabbath, its timeless call to gather around the table, light candles, pray, sing, and share a meal in a spirit of fellowship and worship. It shows the centrality of family to the Sabbath, just as the Sabbath sits at the centre of the Ten Commandments, with glory to God foremost and encompassing of all. As part of the prayers, the husband blesses his wife, the parents bless their children, and the family, together, bless the God of the Universe. It is so pure and lovely, as conveyed here, a sanctified, ancient observance given by God to His chosen people and preserved through time as no other.

“May He send you husbands who will care for you”. Little did Tevye realise two future husbands sat at his table that night!

favourite line in this scene is "He'll yell at me."

That final note from Topol never fails to hit me in the gut it's incredible.

Even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness. Beautiful.....

I like the sense of hospitality; Tevye only just met this Perchik fellow a hour ago and of cause he's come for dinner and a bed for the night, and when Golde asks Motel if he wants to stay for dinner she answers her own question with "Of course you are!" before he can complete a single word. They'll share what little they have as a matter of course. Common decency isn't what it used to be.

This and Sunrise, Sunset are just beautiful songs. Gives me chills!

My memories of my Mother lighting the Shabbat candles. It's as if time stood still and we were transported to a new dimension.

"You have a pleasant daughter." "I have *five* pleasants daughters!" Aw that hits me right here.

I'm not Jewish or Christian but there is something so beautiful about this song. It seems a true prayer

This movie is so beautiful

Goodbye and Godspeed Topol. You will be missed. To those who don't know, look up his TED talk and see what a great man he was.

This movie always makes me realize how much I appreciate Shabos. To have a day to just stop what your doing, stay home, and focus on family, spirituality, and your connection with G-d is truly special.

Just watched this again after the recent death of Chaim Topol. 😢He was such a great Tevya. May he Rest in Peace and May His Memory be a Blessing 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Tevye's wife plays a Jewish mother sooo well!

Good shabbat everyone!!!!!! May your shabbat be filled with peace. Amen.

I'm not of the Jewish faith. But once I was laid up after surgery and decided I was going to watch the movie. I was hoping to learn about their way of life. After watching, I found it to be an enlightenment. Not only did I enjoy the movie, I had a new respect for their ways and traditions.

Grew up Christian in Montreal (plateau). I remember the shops shutting down every Friday. I think that’s why we did all our shopping on Thursdays. I was always moved by the meaning of the Sabbath.

May God protect Israel and jews all over the wourld and give us peace

This is just outstanding! I have 4 daughters and I just admire this family and this couple! “The tongue she gets from her mother!” HOW TRUE!! 👍🤓😆

This one beautiful movie. More relevant now than ever.

Beautiful scene from fiddler.

Love the tradition, music and movie.

"This is mine! And this is mine! And this is mine! And THIS is mine! And THIS is mine! And th-- . . . . Well, this is not mine." xD

Beautiful beautiful beautiful, I miss my father he spoke Yiddish and loved Israel, a boy from Brooklyn, a man, a father, a grandfather , “next year in Israel”

What a beautiful prayer ...how could anybody justify hate towards these things?

I love this movie! My mother took me when i was very young, I guess it stayed with me. Imagine I'm a Russian orthodox and very glad we don't have matchmakers any more., married 34 wonderful fantastic years and after all this time my hubby watches this with me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sense in this scene the quiet power of God moving in his people. The strength of His love for His people and how that is a model to be shared and lived by the family. The strength of a people is in how the children are raised and the respect taught and shown from husband and wife. God is the head of the husband he is the head of his wife and children. She is his crowning glory the treasure. The husband loves her and honors her and she him . Tears

Found the soundtrack on CD at a Salvation Army the other day. I love this movie, and this is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. I told my husband it was the best find ever!

My favorite scene in the movie. Starting with the typical jabbering of a husband and wife, showing the humanity of Tevye and his wife, Golde. And, the timidity of a suitor of the oldest daughter in asking for her hand in marriage. Then, as the family quickly collects at the table, a lone oboe sets the tone of the gathering. The song, sung exclusively by the parents, is a beautiful expression of the mother and father for the children's good fortune, a meaningful and solemn blessing of the Sabbath tradition. As a father of daughters, one of whom is already married, my heart cannot contain my emotion when Tevye's sings, "May He send you husbands who will care for you." God, I pray that You will grant my daughters those kinds of husbands, there are so very few of these kind and nurturing men in our current day and time. And, finally, the climax slowing building in volume, showing the entire village celebrating together. This is more than mere sentimentality, it is cinematic depth of feeling matched by few.

I love how he greets his daughters :-) He loves them! Great movie!

Tevye's thunderous voice would have torn down The Walls of Jericho.

Outstanding! My sister-in-law is Ruth, which is her middle name. My wife is Esther, who I prefer to call Hadassah! I married a Persian Jew!

This song is kind of my sleeper fave for the musical. The way it's staged (showing all the other families saying the same prayer over their meal) shows the best aspect of tradition--that it connects you to others, and to those who've gone before you.

"This is mine! And this is mine! And this is mine!" The cutest scene in cinema

I couldn't agree more. It brings tears to my eyes - so does the whole film. Thanks so much for sharing the whole scene. Just wonderful.

I love how Tevye freely gives his daughters affection by kissing them

I love the way the actresses who play Chava, Shprintze and Bielke look at Topol and Norma Crane. The wonder and reverence they show in this scene is so special.

Such a beautiful and haunting song. And I just love Golde - she's like a drill sargeant! Tevye is the head of the family but we know whose really in charge! ;)

Im not jewish and many of the scenes in this movie bring me to tears.

Thank you Hashem this Passover April 5, 2023.🙏Amen

My mother sang this to me over Shabbat candles once and I've never forgotten.

I absolutely love this movie

I recently looked up the cast of this movie, because I was wondering what happened to most of them. I was saddened to learn that the actress who played Golde (Norma Crane) died just 2 years later (in 1973) of breast cancer. She was only 44. And the actor who played Mottel (Leonard Frey) died in 1988 of complications of AIDS. He was 49. Too young. May they rest in peace.

This Family Prayer Song .... Goes Deep, makes me Weep. Shabbat Shalom, people everywhere.... Shalom - Peace, Well Being, Wholeness and Completeness, Prosperity, Happiness, Favor, Protection , Strength, Freedom from pain. A good name.

My Mother was a Jewish Lady, I was adopted into a good Catholic family. Having done a lot of research, my people come from the Russian/ Polish border. Thank G.-d .they escaped.

May the Lord bless His people and give them rest

Hearing Tevye's voice reminds me so much of my father. :)

Always crying when listening and watching to it, a masterpiece of the heart. Like the whole movie, but imho this is the highest moment.

The way she looks at Perchik when she says: "Strangers' ways"

Omg he will be so missed he did this justice Thanks

The Prayer is so beautiful and Topol delivers it so well that I am certain it reached the ears of God. May God Bless Us All.

It’s perfect. The beauty of theirs voices is breathtaking. And the scenery is peaceful with the candles lighten and all their faces radiating with happiness. The prayer is in their hearts, bless them.

one of my favorite songs from any musical

I love this. God bless us all! May The Lord protect and defend you and everyone!!! God bless!

Since seeing this, I've read much of the works of Sholem Aleichem. Marvelous writer that captures that cultural heritage. Magnificent.

I love the urgency to begin. It really shows their dedication to serving God at his appointed time. Such an incredibly beautiful song.

Loved this movie this prayer nd Topol! RIP

Absolutnie przepiękna modlitwa,znakomita scena... zresztą jak cała historia,film,musical.Niestety Chaim Topol odszedł od nas do Wieczności 2 tygodnie temu.Spoczywaj w pokoju MISTRZU. Obyś doznał Wiecznego Ukojenia. Dziękuje za cudowne niezapomniane rolę, twój piękny głos, śpiew. WIELKIE DZIĘKI za udostępnienie.. Pozdrawiam serdecznie from Poland 🇵🇱

The bottle dancers for the wedding was Devine. I love this movie forever. It personifies, tradition in transition, devotion to family and faith, and moral responsibility. Something we miss in this present environment.

"and this is mine!" "And this is mine!" "AND THIS IS MINE" "AND THI-" cracks me up everytime

I saw Topol in Cape Town in the live show, and then in the movie. Wonderful actor.

I love this film. Watched it every year from a child.

As I write this, I see that there have been over 1 million views and over 600 comments. And I wish to add my own thanks for posting this most beautiful piece. As we are all captured by its beauty, I wonder how many listeners recognize that this enchanting melody is the same as the famous song from early in the show, "If I Were A Rich Man", but performed at about half time. The entire production is a work of genius, with universal themes transcending any single religion.

What a blessing God gave us. 🙏 Thank you for this great performance, no one could have done a better job than you and this great cast. 😢

Also, Tevye reminds me soooo much of my grandfather.

Topol was the greatest Tevye.

A lovely prayer.

Oh my god. I love this film. So pertinent. Times really don't change, do they? Alas.

“May you be like Ruth and like Esther”.. Through an act of grace, and genetics, I truly believe that I married Esther! But to me, she will always be my Hadassah!!

🎵🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶🎵 This song is so beautiful!!!

How can anyone dislike this?

Ooo! I love that quote so much! "Even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness"...especially when he repeats it later on in the story...

My grandmother was a Perchuk (not Perchik, but still) from the Ukraine, so I have always considered him a relation.

Masterful! Love how they blend in the other families at the end of the beautiful song. Such a powerful, emotional scene.

I have 3 daughters & I always write this on the card I give them everytime they celebrate a birthday, a really appropriate wish for your daughters.

This is one my favourite scenes (not just from this movie, but from any film really)! :D

Priceless , as I grew up this was a constant theme , the changing of traditions , letting go , holding on , and going forward.

When Motel quotes Tzeitel's own words later on, Tevye comments "He's beginning to talk like a man!" I love that.

I pray God does keep everyone of you safe during these crazy times...This is just moving to see family so close. Americans we barely take time now to even talk to our children or spend time. We have become too busy wrapped up in frivolous matters.

Forgive me.....this coming from an imposing Gentile. This movie has such an important place in my heart. Irregardless of it's Jewish ties....it imposes reality upon my heart. Is it so different from us all? The common themes within and without seem to tug on all the heartstrings of all of us.We aren't really different at all, is what I believe. I'm Teyve, I can so relate......God bless you all, I feel this Fiddler on the Roof within me............Just another Gentile under God

I just love this musical so much!

This makes you think about how parents (it seems to me) don't bless their children like this anymore. May God return the hearts of the parents to their children and the hearts of the children to their parents once again so that the generation of the righteous maybe secure once more in Jesus name.

This movie is such a excellent delight to watch in my judgment. 🙏🎼

A lot of Christian homes need family sabbath. Each part is a prayer for every role and member of the home.

AWESOME , A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER just love it ! ! !

Never ever lived in a religious house...My parents did not practice BUT as soon as this starts so does the waterworks, and I am almost 80?????????????????
