It’s too bad this clip didn’t go a minute or so longer when the fiddler appeared behind Tevya and he motioned fiddler to follow him. That was very symbolic of Tevya taking the traditions with him instead of leaving them behind.
I also want to add that jewish tradition is also them being expelled from lands they grew up in, spain, france, italy, poland, etc. This exodus is just another part of jewish tradition.
I remember crying so hard when I first saw this as a child. Saying to my mother, "Rabbi is so old, how will he make the trip?" And all she could do was hug me tight.
If you ask me, the Tsar did them a favor. The history coming up in Russia was too bloody for anyone. You know the asshole who married Hava? Well, he and his buddies turned it communist in one of the worst civil wars anywhere, and went on to turn it into a living hell....pretty typical liberals, I guess. And then ww2 happened....so....legging it is a great idea. They just don't know it.
Tevye was so worried about Tzeitel being poor that he was driven to make a deal with the butcher, but it wouldn't have mattered much because they were all evicted anyway with nothing but what they could carry.
That sentiment was reflected in the last scene at Anatevka, when Tevye and Lazar Wolf saw passed their past argument and hugged each other. Whether rich or poor, easy life or hard, they were both reduced to expulsion and hardship.
I'm from Hong Kong. I find this song can relate to most of the Hong Kongers. Most of the people here intend to immigrate due to tyranny of China's communist party. I wish one day, government can fulfill their promise and grant us democracy and safeguard human rights. We deserve that. I wish my family, friends, and others dont have to leave our homeland. I wish our children can grow up in a place with hopes and love
The amazing thing about Fiddler is that for a musical written about a specific people, place and time, cultures all over the world have always related deeply to it. It sounds cliche to say, but some things truly *are* universal.
The irony. Many Russian Jews emigrated to the USA, Canada and Australia where they did very well for themselves and contributed to these countries' social capital. All of that could have been Russia's.
Maybe not. Tevye's great-grandson would have reason to be grateful to the Tsar and the constable in 1950. Whoever the Soviets spared would have to face the Holocaust/Shoah, and whoever was spared by _that_ would have to deal with Stalin.
My line produced Soldiers, pretty much every man in my family has fought in the US military since 1917 whether by choice or draft and I’m proud to carry that on
@@warreneckels4945and I'm sure that over here in America, Tevye would have no problem being a milkman because supposedly at least initially anyway he and his family were going to move to New York.
Messianic Prophecies yet to be fulfilled: - Isaiah 1:26: "And I will restore your judges as at first and your counsellors as in the beginning; afterwards you shall be called City of Righteousness, Faithful City."

The freeze-frame montage style of composition is reminiscent of photos from this period of history, a poignant reminder that the pogroms were very real and not merely the stuff of sentimental drama. For all the criticism you can level at Fiddler, you'll be hard pressed to find a musical that gives such sensitivity to its serious subject matter. It never fails to move me.
Just saw Fiddler live the other day. They used projection very sparingly, but at the beginning and intermission they had a bunch of those photos projected on the set and walls. They also had many framed and decorating the entrances to the theater.
Oh the cruel, cruel ironies of history: the outdoors scenes were filmed in a Christian Orthodox (i.e. Serbian) village in Croatia back in 1970. It was as near as the production could get to a "Russian (Orthodox) look alike". Well, some 25 years later, in 1995, it was the Orthodox Serbs who had to flee their homes. No formal order was issued, but everyone in the village understood. Leave or perish. Human cruelty knows no bounds. Unlike animals, birds, insects... I guess we are the bigger siblings of - the viruses. Or, perhaps, the bacteria? No other living organism is hellbent on destruction only. No other organism but us, the so called "Homo Sapiens". Yes, "the THINKING man". Amen.
The majority of people in Anatevka are too old to be doing this much travelling, and so many of them will die on the journey to wherever they're going.
Love fiddler on the roof my ancestors came from that part of Russia and it makes me appreciate my great grandparents more what they accomplished when they had to leave everything they knew some good some bad
And if you don't fight back, you'll end up with nothing. If you can't defend your home, or are not willing to defend it, you don't deserve it....which is why Jews learned their lesson by the time they got to their true homeland of Israel.

Favorite 'song' from a brilliant musical. When I was four, I walked somberly around the house singing: "A-men-hotep! A-men-hotep!" Pharaoh would have been proud
Think about thisfor a moment. It is a tragic scene, and the Tsar just signed a piece of paper, uprooting the lives of the Jews, but there is a silver lining. This movie takes place in 1909. Eight years later, not only would the Tsar be overthrown, not only would he and his immediate family be killed, but the very institution of the Russian monarchy would be utterly destroyed and relegated to the pages of history, yet we Jews are still here and our traditions endure.
I grew up being taught that God and Jesus would protect me. I was never really sure if I believed that, but I think it doesn’t matter what you believe. What gets you through hard times is what’s inside you - your resilience. Wherever that comes from is not important.

I felt a little sorry for the constable in this picture. He wasn't really a bad guy, but he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Threatened to be replaced by "someone who will" if he didn't carry out the orders to evict these people (or worse), he didn't have any choice. It makes me wonder: what would you do in that position?
Even tho it was sad that they were forced out of all they have ever known. They escaped the russian revolution world war 1 and 2 the holocaust hitler joseph Stalin the Soviet Union the cold war the chernobyl disaster and so much more horrific things in history.
@@biacus_il1128 My assumption in the movie is that they die later on due to the Russian Revolution. Russians hated jews, and a good amount of people died. If not that, it would be WW2 with the massacres of Jews and Slavs in the Eastern Front.
It's possible, if there were Jews who moved to nearby countries like Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia or Ukraine that if they lived close enough to the Soviet borders, they might have escaped back into the USSR during the war. But, a lot of Russian Jews migrated to the United States, England, Canada, Israel and other countries in Western and Central Europe. However, most of the Jews living in Central and Western Europe would not have been very lucky a few decades later, with the Nazis coming into power and promoting genocide.
Hannah is right. To add, the Soviet Union and their satellite countries began persecuting Jews for maintaining their religion. This persecution only increased as Israel became successful and began winning wars in the Middle East. Soviet Jews who wanted to immigrate to Israel were denied the ability to leave and some of them were thrown into insane asylums for even asking. For the Jewish people, it was simply one bad government to another. The Revolution didn't solve their problems.
@@thorpeaaron1110 And thanked God everyday they did. I asked my Grandmother if she ever wanted to go back and see Hungary again, she said “No, I kiss the ground, I love America”.
It’s likely, however they were met with more agony than what they left… considering WWII came to be, then the Cold War. But most went towards Eastern Europe or America. We note this as it’s noted Reb Tevya has family in America as well.
@@hannahrozenberg3411 That's a mark of a great actor to make the audience believe you are the actual character you're portraying. Now in regards to the constable, he really want nothing to do with the raids. But his high ranking superior made it very clear if he didn't carry out the order, he would be replaced with someone far worse. You cam see the sadness and distress on the constable's face when he said "orders are orders, understand?"
In Russia! Why do you think they keep on taking about the Tsar? But the boundaries shift often, so its tough to say where it would be now. If it was Ukraine they are super lucky they left , seeing how Ukraine cooperated with Germany in WW2.
Why not, my Husband’s family moved to Maine and Massachusetts. My Grandfather’s family moved to North Carolina. They did this before 1900, they were very brave people. If there was work to be found, we moved there.
This is the only inaccurate part of the story. Jews were not exiled en masse with towns and villages ordered to get out. That sort of thing had to wait for the Soviet Union. Under the Tsar, persecution drove many to emigrate, but they were not uprooted by imperial decree. All the pogroms were instigated by local authorities and police and not the central goverment, though the Tsar did not do enough to stop the pogroms.
So---In Western Europe the local village plans and kicks them out --In Eastern Europe ---same story ---just why not say what can not be said --real instigation against them started by the church ---no paper was necessary --just a nod --how shameful that history books do not even approach
the pogroms were brutal and sadistic. My husband's Grandmother was one who fled from a village like this. The pogroms were unspeakable - they killed babies, she was so traumatized she didn't want her children to carry on any of the traditions because she didn't want them to put themselves at risk by appearing to be Jewish, even in America.
I just did a presentation of the migration of Russian Jews to the United States, and I actually spoke about the pogroms, and that the government permitted the Russians to carry out the Pogroms. What they did get right in the movie was the poverty, since most Jews in Russia lived in the Pale of Settlement. And living in the Settlement meant you could not leave, so poverty was very high in the Shtetls. That was another factor that pushed Jews in Russia to leave.
This did happen. The writer who wrote about this, a Jewish man living in the real life "Anatevka" real name of Boyarka, said it was autobiographical to a degree. He was there. He should know.
I like how the Christian characters are portrayed as being sympathetic to the Jews, but powerless to help, because in real life, nobody is more prosemetic than Christians. Well, at least the Jews have traded the cold Russian village for their home in Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv.
@@vinmaison2862 True, but from there, they went to Israel. That nation probably would not be reborn had the Jews not been kicked out of Europe (or fled from the Holocaust).
@@broadstreet21 I know this sounds horrible and it certainly sounds horrible. If the Holocaust never happened, the state of Israel would have never existed. The lesson here is that even the most horrible events have a place in God's eternal plan. God's deeds are incomprehensible to us humans but we must try to interpret them with the limited capacity that our brains allow us to.
@@lordgarmadon2598 If that was part of a god's plan he is no god of mine. If it wasn't, he is not a god one should have faith in. God if you want to call it that way can not live up to our expectations.
Except for the inspector who referred to them as 'trouble-makers' and 'christ killers' and the soldiers who raided the village. And the group of men who started harassing Chava before Fyedka told them to leave her alone. The rest of the people from the other side of the village, including the Russian Orthodox priest seemed to treat them civilly at least.
The saddest line in the whole movie is, 'We've been waiting for the Messiah our whole lives. Wouldn't this be a good time for Him to come?' The Jewish Messiah has already come! Yet they still wait for His first arrival, while Christians await His return! 'He came to his own, and His own people did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.' John 1:11-13 ESV But there is still hope. If any Jews or non-Jews read this, I pray that you will realize that the Messiah has already come for you, for all mankind to save them!!!
I loved this film. However it amazes me that the Israelis are not more kind hearted and understanding of the Palestinians, given their own history. Yet they too, now, are throwing Palestinians out of their homes in Jerusalem, it all makes me v sad that we don't learn from history.
actually they're not. If you're talking about the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, that's a tenant dispute - Jews bought land in the 1800s, were pushed out by Jordan in 1948, and proved their ownership in 1967 when Israel took back the land from Jordan. The Palestinians living there had no proof of ownership, but were allowed to rent from the owners for decades. They stopped paying rent because the new owners want to redevelop, and have been contesting their situation for many many years in one court after another, now the supreme court. Nobody would have paid attention to this universal issue if it weren't in Israel. Dare I say Israel treats Palestinians better than their Arab brethren - unless they choose to be terrorists. The PA and Hamas do nothing for their citizens, and Israel has to fix their electricity and water lines and send aid at their own cost, because Israel is a humanitarian country. Their record treating the sick and wounded from the Territories and Syria and their massive aid programs around the world prove that. That is a Jewish value. The value of human life. When Palestinians choose to terrorize, they clearly don't value lives - their own or their victims.
Remember there's the Women in Black movement, Palestinian and Israeli women working together for peace in Palestine. From what I've heard the opinions and actions of the everyday Israeli people in regards to Palestinians is a very different one from the actions and opinions of the Israeli government and army in regards to the Palestinians, and that many Israeli's are pushed around by the government as well. The late Israeli singer Ofra Haza was apparently a big advocate for peace and supported Palestine. And just under a year ago I saw a news video about Jewish university students in America holding a public demonstration in support of Palestine, saying that it was their responsibility as jewish people to support Palestinian liberation. ua-cam.com/video/N4wgnflepJE/v-deo.html
Because history had shown that if they don't comply, they will be met with violence. Have you ever heard the kids rhyme "In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue"? Well Jews remember that date for a different reason. That's the year the same royals who sent out Columbus ordered that all Jews within the country convert, leave, or face the Spanish Inquisition. Many were tortured and killed. The entire population of Jewish people packed up, were forced to sell the things they couldn't carry for a fraction of their value, and left the country. That same pattern has been repeating for literally thousands of years. What else could they do?
Because they are outnumbered far more then a 1000 to one. Because they have no weapons. Because they are not trained soldiers, and the people coming to kill them would be. Because they did not wish to see their children die for absolutely no reason. There isa difference between brave and stupid. But don't worry. Once they were given their land back of Israel, they never once backed down from defending it.
Please understand also look up a video on my channel called Germany before Hitler and the documentary you can find on bitchute called Hellstorm, stop getting your history from movies

Even tho it was sad that they were forced out of all they have ever known. They escaped the russian revolution world war 1 and 2 the holocaust hitler joseph Stalin the Soviet Union the cold war the chernobyl disaster and so much more horrific things in history.
Chana and Fyedka went to Krakow so they were setup for the worst to come in WWII.
@@biacus_il1128 My assumption in the movie is that they die later on due to the Russian Revolution. Russians hated jews, and a good amount of people died. If not that, it would be WW2 with the massacres of Jews and Slavs in the Eastern Front.
They escaped the Great Hunger, the Kholodomor, as well.
I still cry to this day. Humans are an evil species.
Anatevka blew away the shooting the manikin challenge!
Здравейте Скъпа Буш, ЩЕ ВИ ПОМОЛЯ ДА МИ ДАДЕТЕ ДОРИ ОНОВА КОЕТО НЯМАТЕ!
Making Christmas making Christmas
Nightmare before Christmas basically ripped off this song.
BEAUTIFULL MOVIE
Universal song
So unfair they had to leave their home. Did some ever go back home after the Revolution????
It's possible, if there were Jews who moved to nearby countries like Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia or Ukraine that if they lived close enough to the Soviet borders, they might have escaped back into the USSR during the war. But, a lot of Russian Jews migrated to the United States, England, Canada, Israel and other countries in Western and Central Europe. However, most of the Jews living in Central and Western Europe would not have been very lucky a few decades later, with the Nazis coming into power and promoting genocide.
Hannah is right. To add, the Soviet Union and their satellite countries began persecuting Jews for maintaining their religion. This persecution only increased as Israel became successful and began winning wars in the Middle East. Soviet Jews who wanted to immigrate to Israel were denied the ability to leave and some of them were thrown into insane asylums for even asking. For the Jewish people, it was simply one bad government to another. The Revolution didn't solve their problems.
No Most Jews immigrated to the United States
@@thorpeaaron1110 And thanked God everyday they did. I asked my Grandmother if she ever wanted to go back and see Hungary again, she said “No, I kiss the ground, I love America”.
It’s likely, however they were met with more agony than what they left… considering WWII came to be, then the Cold War. But most went towards Eastern Europe or America. We note this as it’s noted Reb Tevya has family in America as well.
I tuned in to this now because putin is now about to destroy anatevka, maybe even today.
The constable is Pete from Muppets Take Manhattan.
Amy Collins RIP Louis Zorich
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I can't take this seriously anymore.
What?? No way!! He was so wonderful in that movie! In this movie I strongly disliked him! I hate Anti-Semites with a burning passion.
No wonder he looked familiar.
@@hannahrozenberg3411 That's a mark of a great actor to make the audience believe you are the actual character you're portraying. Now in regards to the constable, he really want nothing to do with the raids. But his high ranking superior made it very clear if he didn't carry out the order, he would be replaced with someone far worse. You cam see the sadness and distress on the constable's face when he said "orders are orders, understand?"
Is it a little cut-up, or all my versions are..
Sad.
Fast forward, the same fate was met by Kashmiri Pandita in the Kashmir Valley in India.
Came here thinking about how Stephen Miller's (Trump's Aide) immigrant ancestors came to America to avoid persecution.
How people forget...
4:13
I may mispronunce this word...But This show talks of a part of life that non-jews speak about Padam...
✡️✡️✡️
is this located in ukraina?
In Russia! Why do you think they keep on taking about the Tsar? But the boundaries shift often, so its tough to say where it would be now. If it was Ukraine they are super lucky they left , seeing how Ukraine cooperated with Germany in WW2.
@@martineshamzin7535 This movie takes place in 1905, though. WW2 is not that soon to come.
@@martineshamzin7535 actually it is set in Ukraine which was part of the Russian Empire at that time.
@@martineshamzin7535 They are in close proximity to Kiev which they talk about in the script.
Това го няма в българският вариант!?
I wonder if one of them decided to move to Florida?
Why not, my Husband’s family moved to Maine and Massachusetts. My Grandfather’s family moved to North Carolina. They did this before 1900, they were very brave people. If there was work to be found, we moved there.
@@NuNugirl I think you missed the joke entirety.
@@LaKellita I did too. Why not Florida?
@@martineshamzin7535 the joke was about how Jewish people are always retiring to Florida.
@@LaKellita Oh. Got it!

Me = dis song lol
This is the only inaccurate part of the story. Jews were not exiled en masse with towns and villages ordered to get out. That sort of thing had to wait for the Soviet Union. Under the Tsar, persecution drove many to emigrate, but they were not uprooted by imperial decree. All the pogroms were instigated by local authorities and police and not the central goverment, though the Tsar did not do enough to stop the pogroms.
So---In Western Europe the local village plans and kicks them out --In Eastern Europe ---same story ---just why not say what can not be said --real instigation against them started by the church ---no paper was necessary --just a nod --how shameful that history books do not even approach
the pogroms were brutal and sadistic. My husband's Grandmother was one who fled from a village like this. The pogroms were unspeakable - they killed babies, she was so traumatized she didn't want her children to carry on any of the traditions because she didn't want them to put themselves at risk by appearing to be Jewish, even in America.
I just did a presentation of the migration of Russian Jews to the United States, and I actually spoke about the pogroms, and that the government permitted the Russians to carry out the Pogroms. What they did get right in the movie was the poverty, since most Jews in Russia lived in the Pale of Settlement. And living in the Settlement meant you could not leave, so poverty was very high in the Shtetls. That was another factor that pushed Jews in Russia to leave.
Wrong. The Tsar did tell Jews to leave. In fact, there were only small areas of Russia where Jews were allowed at all. Look it up.
This did happen. The writer who wrote about this, a Jewish man living in the real life "Anatevka" real name of Boyarka, said it was autobiographical to a degree. He was there. He should know.
So are we going to talk about this song being stolen for making Christmas from nightmare before Christmas.
Vanity, Vanity all is vanity "Fear HaShem and keep his commandments for that is a person's entire duty".
King Solomon said all is vanity
@matthewfox1561 king Solomon wrote ecclesiasties, 12:13 fear Hashem, keep his commandments, for that is a person's entire duty.
Considering what happens over the next 30 years In Russia…they were lucky
I like how the Christian characters are portrayed as being sympathetic to the Jews, but powerless to help, because in real life, nobody is more prosemetic than Christians.
Well, at least the Jews have traded the cold Russian village for their home in Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv.
Actually the vast majority went To the US.
@@vinmaison2862 True, but from there, they went to Israel. That nation probably would not be reborn had the Jews not been kicked out of Europe (or fled from the Holocaust).
@@broadstreet21 I know this sounds horrible and it certainly sounds horrible. If the Holocaust never happened, the state of Israel would have never existed. The lesson here is that even the most horrible events have a place in God's eternal plan. God's deeds are incomprehensible to us humans but we must try to interpret them with the limited capacity that our brains allow us to.
@@lordgarmadon2598 If that was part of a god's plan he is no god of mine. If it wasn't, he is not a god one should have faith in.
God if you want to call it that way can not live up to our expectations.
Except for the inspector who referred to them as 'trouble-makers' and 'christ killers' and the soldiers who raided the village. And the group of men who started harassing Chava before Fyedka told them to leave her alone. The rest of the people from the other side of the village, including the Russian Orthodox priest seemed to treat them civilly at least.
The saddest line in the whole movie is, 'We've been waiting for the Messiah our whole lives. Wouldn't this be a good time for Him to come?' The Jewish Messiah has already come! Yet they still wait for His first arrival, while Christians await His return! 'He came to his own, and His own people did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.'
John 1:11-13 ESV
But there is still hope. If any Jews or non-Jews read this, I pray that you will realize that the Messiah has already come for you, for all mankind to save them!!!
I loved this film. However it amazes me that the Israelis are not more kind hearted and understanding of the Palestinians, given their own history. Yet they too, now, are throwing Palestinians out of their homes in Jerusalem, it all makes me v sad that we don't learn from history.
actually they're not. If you're talking about the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, that's a tenant dispute - Jews bought land in the 1800s, were pushed out by Jordan in 1948, and proved their ownership in 1967 when Israel took back the land from Jordan. The Palestinians living there had no proof of ownership, but were allowed to rent from the owners for decades. They stopped paying rent because the new owners want to redevelop, and have been contesting their situation for many many years in one court after another, now the supreme court. Nobody would have paid attention to this universal issue if it weren't in Israel. Dare I say Israel treats Palestinians better than their Arab brethren - unless they choose to be terrorists. The PA and Hamas do nothing for their citizens, and Israel has to fix their electricity and water lines and send aid at their own cost, because Israel is a humanitarian country. Their record treating the sick and wounded from the Territories and Syria and their massive aid programs around the world prove that. That is a Jewish value. The value of human life. When Palestinians choose to terrorize, they clearly don't value lives - their own or their victims.
Remember there's the Women in Black movement, Palestinian and Israeli women working together for peace in Palestine. From what I've heard the opinions and actions of the everyday Israeli people in regards to Palestinians is a very different one from the actions and opinions of the Israeli government and army in regards to the Palestinians, and that many Israeli's are pushed around by the government as well. The late Israeli singer Ofra Haza was apparently a big advocate for peace and supported Palestine. And just under a year ago I saw a news video about Jewish university students in America holding a public demonstration in support of Palestine, saying that it was their responsibility as jewish people to support Palestinian liberation. ua-cam.com/video/N4wgnflepJE/v-deo.html
Brainwashed reply! Try living with Palestine terrorists. Same bear…
This hasn't aged so well after October 7th.
never understand why they just accept it so easily
Interesting you say that, now when Israel fights back and defends itself against those that wish to destroy them the world condemns them.
Because history had shown that if they don't comply, they will be met with violence. Have you ever heard the kids rhyme "In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue"? Well Jews remember that date for a different reason. That's the year the same royals who sent out Columbus ordered that all Jews within the country convert, leave, or face the Spanish Inquisition. Many were tortured and killed. The entire population of Jewish people packed up, were forced to sell the things they couldn't carry for a fraction of their value, and left the country. That same pattern has been repeating for literally thousands of years. What else could they do?
their other option is death
@@lordgarmadon2598 not the world, most of the world doesn't care. It's just a vocal part that is against Israel.
Because they are outnumbered far more then a 1000 to one. Because they have no weapons. Because they are not trained soldiers, and the people coming to kill them would be. Because they did not wish to see their children die for absolutely no reason. There isa difference between brave and stupid. But don't worry. Once they were given their land back of Israel, they never once backed down from defending it.
He came and you would not accept Jesus
Facts the Jews didn't accept him
sorry Jesus 😔 it was rude of us, it wont happen again 😇
I have news for them - the Messiah has already come and his name is Jesus, Emmanuel.
Please understand also look up a video on my channel called Germany before Hitler and the documentary you can find on bitchute called Hellstorm, stop getting your history from movies
"Let me come to a movie and beg people to watch my UA-cam channel where I act likr an actual spazz" No thank you mate.
