And now Norman Jewison

It's funny that they follow these traditions without knowing how they got started or why, simply because they're traditions.

It is not a tradition, it is a mitzvah given by HaShem at Sinai. It is in the Torah, Bamidbar 15:38-40

@@cesargcedeno Call it what you will, it's all traditional and mostly mythical obscurantist nonsense that needs to be swept aside by the marching tide of historical progress. Just like any other barbaric belief or set of values that reflects social and cultural backwardness. You've missed the entire point of Fiddler if you don't recognise that message.

@@PTSmashdo you follow any traditions?

And it is part of the twice daily Shema, so Tevvye would have known how it got started. THe lyricist, obviously not. I can guess who actually went to shul.@@cesargcedeno

SOOOO have to managed to play it?

Same

Matt Shafer And at the Alexander Palace Nicholas asks the priests "Father, is there a proper blessing for Lenin and Trotsky?" The priest replies "Oh yes, God bless and keep Lenin and Trotsky- Far way from us!" LOL!

Mandy Brett ...it’s ‘Tevye’.

I saw this a few years ago at my local theatre and Perchik in this movie(Paul Michael Glaser) Played the role of Tevye, it was as wonderful as you'd expect.

Since when? Where I come from, that doesn't happen. I'm a strong girl. The name's Hannah L.M Alexander,if you're already wondering.

Refresh my memory; what song is that?

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

​@@Garrettk41 It's the one where all the Jewish people are leaving Anatevka and singing as they pack

That is a Sin

😢😢😢😢😢

oldbluescott Wow.

I never thought of that

They are Russian jews , just be happy it's isn't a bunch of sephardi sneaking. Blts

@@yetzerhara3451 And what is wrong with Sephardites. Yeesh I thought it was a Christian thing but it is obvious everybody hates Latinos! And FYI the richest city in Latin America and industrial hub of Mexico where everything and anything is made is Monterrey which was originally founded by Conversos. They gave it a different name but the Inquisition went all the way from Mexico City to arrest the founder on trumped up charges and got him to confess after about three turns in the rack and a bone crashing machine (if Spain had put whoever came up with those horrid contractions to build more useful things Spain would have figured out the steam engine first but again that's what you get when you mix religion, power and fanatism) that he was guilty of all forms of heresies real and invented. But the original inhabitants (they could't take all) went to an older town called Almaden then a guy called Diego de Montemayor refounded it but no one wanted to settle in that hot, semidesertic valley so he went to convince the old residents to come back, and that's how Monterrey came to be. And by the way there was no "permanent," native population to mingle with like in Central and South Mexico so the "founders" of something already established took advantage of the first settler daughters perhaps not knowing many, if not all, were of Sephardic descent, result: Monterrey is full of banks, factories, corporations and media (only city in Mexico to have a nationwide network outside of Mexico City [Multimedios]), etc. I know of one family, got invitations to their wedings, etc. Friendly and they always had mucho bread! True, thanks to the Spanish Inquisition and the Edict of Granada they weren't practicing the religion of their ancestors but they kind of do keep to their social circles.

@@roverworld7218 my grandmother spoke ladino, jackass. It was a joke, my ancestors(jews) while not seprhadi, lived in peace with then.

Tevye KNOWS it was a mule!

So true, I think of this song too when I hear the word "tradition".

GUILTY. When I did this play in high school, our teacher was adamant in us being punctual with the choreography. Now I hear this song, I am in synch and I know the dance as if my life depended on it. I also played Golde on my first play and then I was Yente in my last play.

Yeah!

They were SIX!

Fascynujące...bez napisów nie za dużo rozumiem(choć nieraz oglądałem z lektorem),ale im więcej oglądam,tym bardziej się zachwycam.I jeszcze raz powtarzam:nie lubię musichalli!!!...Ale to jest coś więcej:to ARCYDZIEŁO!;;

You're right. But, on the other hand, Tevye is just a simple milkman, he's not very educated. So maybe it makes sense that he doesn't know the origins of the traditions he follows?

Tevye's comment is humorous but sad. Jewish traditions should always be taught to children along with how they originated from the Torah and what spiritual meanings YHWH was conveying through them. Many are related to Mashiach and Ruach Hakodesh.

I could do without the matchmaker’s visits or my father making the final decision of who I marry.

Hes Jewish

Not exacly its like a priest but for jewish people he only teaches tora

joyunicycle iam not Jewish but god made me just like he make you .in his image

@@yetzerhara3451 I can't help it. Maybe you can, but not me.

@@joyunicycle I found Christ, i can't imagine thinking like i did back then gonna delete original comment. Funny how things change. Thanks for not lashing out at me like i did to you.

@@yetzerhara3451 Praise the Lord! 😊

Pure idolatry

He doesn't say keep the Torah away from us. He says keep the Tzar

Cuz it's good.

Your dad was wise! You obviously have not inherired it.....maybe you will?

Only if it is forced unto other faiths! Respect each others faith!
