I saw this play at my school yesterday and the singing was way better than this& also the band was beautiful. I think overall the play was better than this. We have some talented actors at my school.
My class saw it today in school as a part of our "Poland" program. As Israelis it was very hard for us to understand the mentality of these society, which is totally different than the zionist one. Conservative vs proggresive. Also their passive mentality to the growth of anti semitism around them is unthinkable.
Very interesting to see how my ansestors lived, yet it made be proud to be an Israeli.
It was also a very humantirian and pluralist experience that we can learn a lot from as Israelis.
you know, most films don't age well, this film actually ages REALLY well, and it's sometimes hard to tell that it was made back in the 70's... the music, the look, the filming to it, all done well.
Im a Roman Catholic a Christian But i Love jewish Tradition i love their Devotion to God ! i love how even in tough Times they stick Together... The Christian World has to Learn From the jews.. much Love and Respects Tradition Over All <3
I saw a Flemish version of this in Antwerp a few weeks ago. I hardly knew the story and I only knew the songs "Matchmaker", "Lechiam" and "If I were a rich man" were from this movie. The whole was translated in Dutch of course but I got goosebumps from the moment this song started all the way until the end
If I was a rich man, yubba dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum, all day long id deedle didle dum, yidle dibby didle didle dum. I would have to work hard....
@dfcvda Why not? My mom and her family are all American, and my dad was born here in America but had parents who were native Germans and who spoke fluent German.
I was in a broadway musical and this was one of the songs I was a daughter and it was long but fun so a shout out to jodine my music producer and kandance and nathen also ally for teaching us the moves. The theater is in Lisbon Ohio trinity play house.
My favourite film of all time, best I've ever seen, and I'm over 70! Wonderful music, a real story, fantastic cinematography. What more could anyone ask. I first saw it in 1971, and it still delights me. Watch it and tell me you don't get a lump in the throat or tears in your eyes!
There's a comment on here a little ways down saying that the problem is that people in the U.S. don't have any traditions. Are you friggin' nuts? You obviously don't know me personally. My family is half German and half American, and one of our most important Christmas traditions is to open some of our presents on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day to show our mix of cultures. (Germans living in Germany open them on Christmas Eve instead.) I'm sorry, but that comment pissed me off.
@lashayxo16 Probably not, as there were no African Jews (Falasha) living in Eastern Europe at the time the play is set. But you might find a part in the chorus, and it would be fun, so go ahead and audition! :D
And not many people know that Nazism wasn't just inclusive to Germany! Most of the Axis powers (And Russia before they joined the allies.) were into Nazism. In fact in Japan they still wear Swastika uniforms during WW2 conventions in remembrance of the historic event.
I hate censoring history, but I really wish people would focus on other aspects of Jewish history, or talk about other genocides (Isn't is sad that Americans, CAnadians, Austrailians, New Zealanders, etc. know more about the European genocidal holocaust than their own Aboriginal one?)
So I'm with you, we need some more cool Jews in media.
I think circumcision is becoming more and more commonly practiced among Goys for medical reasons. I'm not going to do it to my children, because I heard about an electric circumcision that went bad and scorched the kid's pecker off.
And to clarify because I know people will jump down my throat. I know that there are not actually things caught inside it. Just like I know that an axe murderer isnt hiding in the shower when I'm home alone, but I still make sure the shower curtain is open when not in use
By the way, as a female, I PERSONALLY as in this is my OPINION, an uncircumcised penis kinda grosses me out. I start thinking about all the weird things that might be caught inside it...I know its not scientifically based, or logical. And I know that it is as clean as a circumcised one. It just creeps me out a bit. again this is MY OPINION
@myaccountwillbeban I don't see how I'm out of luck? Just because the majority are uncircumcised doesn't mean I will never find a lover without a foreskin?
Seriously people? You're making a video from Fiddler on the Roof your battleground for a penis argument? Just because it's a Jewish musical? Should I go find a video from Rent and start bashing gay people and aids? Or why don't I go find a good video from Wicked and talk about how blonde people are stupid? Or I could hit up Evita and talk about whoring your way to the top? If you want to talk about circumcision, find a video about circumcision, and go crazy
I can understand what u mean, but @ least ask the permission of the person who owns the video! I know I wouldn't want MY comment boxes filled with arguments that don't have anything to do with my video! (I'm just trying to be considerate to the other person involved in this)
PLEASE knock it off you two! clearly neither of you see how disturbing and inconsiderate it is for u guys to argue period - but ESPECIALLY on a topic as gross as that - in poor guru009's comment boxes! many people do that and I'm just SICK OF IT!!! comment boxes were meant for POLITE comments ON THE VIDEO, not for random disturbing arguments!!!
The comment box is for expressing your feelings and views on the video. Not for polite interaction. Some opinions hurt other peoples feelings. being offended by someones opinion is a risk of a free society. Polite conversation is saying "thank you" when you actually think: Fuck you! Its asking how somebody is doing eventho you dont give a fuck. I do that on normal occassions, lets keep youtube straightforward. all that pretentious crap is for real life
"For instance, we always keep our heads covered, and always wear a little prayer shawl. This shows our constant devotion to God. You may ask, how did this tradition get started? I'll tell you. I don't know."
I remember when I was a little kid, I would always try to watch this movie but would always fall asleep near the end of act 1. so I would always think to myself, "It must've been great being jewish in russia!"... and then I saw act 2...
The fact that we still have these oppressive traditions shows us the enormous need that humans have of context, of an explanation of the world around us. The need of a system. Any system. Our natural intelligent curiosity of the world around us is sadly the source of this desperate need of context that leads to oppression. It is that struggle to understand reality that I see in this movie. It is both saddening and heart warming to watch. Humans are fascinating!
By oppression I mean all forms of social, cultural, religious, political, economic or traditional norms or rules that tells people that they are worth more or less. Or that they have certain roles in the family and in the society they live in. A person with a vagina does not "belong in the kitchen" more than a person with a penis does. It's an old cultural/social construct that gives people comfort. And people tolerate these oppressive norms because the need for context is so important to us.
The need for tradition is the need for understanding the world you live. Before the scientific method, tradition was the only context that people could depend on. In those days, a life without tradition was not possible since the need for context is crucial to human survival. Today, we are witnessing the clash between the universal way of explaining things and the old traditional way of explaining things. Sooner or later, the universal way will win, simply because it does not oppress people.
you have no idea what your talking about - Jewish only remove the foreskin - which actually proves to be healthy in medical terms nowadays. even non Jews do it to their children. and here is a little tip for the future - don't go around showing off your lack of knowledge.
@2480hanna The vast majority of men in the world are intact, and they are not suffering from illness or infection. There is no justification for cutting off a body part for a hypothetical future disease, especially ones like STDs that can be prevented in ways that don’t involve mutilation. It’s crazy that we don’t think it’s crazy.
@Zhengda10 Basically it makes cleaning easier, which can mean lowering the risk of infection (bacterial, not sexually tansmitted) hence it's "healthy" (providing the wound doesn't become infected.) It's similair to baby ear piercing (although much more permanent and easy to reverse). It's widely accepted, and being "intact" or "cut" doesn't lower or raise your risk of getting an STD. Please read up on circumcision! It's a custom for men of Jewish faith to be circumcised, for "cleanliness".
@JBicks18 Fair enough, the hygeine aspect was a legitimate excuse back in the old testament days when people went weeks without bathing, but that's really not a good reason for allowing circumcision these days. Just because it's widely accepted doesn't make it right. The Nazi regime was widely accepted throughout Germany during WW2.
@Zhengda10 There are lots of things that are accepted that are not "right", but no matter what you think is right, there are other people who think otherwise. Jewish people sort of require it (it is "unclean" to be uncut bu Jewish standards). Unclean="not kosher", just like Jewish people are not allowed to eat animals with cloven hooves. Personally, I think ANYTHING that is permanent (even ear piercing) should be thought out by the individual, not the parents, when the individual is older.
@JBicks18@Zhengda10 Yes there are things not accepted by all for instance I am Christian but see that the Muslim way of killing animals is the best and cleaner way than shooting them for instance slitting their throat and letting them drain has proven to be better and cleaner than shooting. :)
Euhm , i dont see why you are against circumcision?
I am Circumsized and i am realy glad about it when i hear that people can get infections EVEN when they
practice personal hygene,and i dont have to worry about Smega and such , that and from my experience i have learned that there are many ladies who think that it is much cleaner,(no offence against uncircumsied males) but that is what they told me and for me that makes it great :P
@dudefrombelgium I feel sorry for you. A functioning part of your body (protects the glans) was removed without your consent. Smegma is not an issue since most people have regular showers and as I said it's not like we're in the biblical times where bathing was infrequent and circumcision was often a necessary preventative measure.
I often wonder if those who claim they don't regret being circumcised would have chosen to have it done when they were old enough to decide. I doubt it.
@dudefrombelgium Your last "argument" is terrible. I can just as easily say you can't have an opinion on the matter because you don't have a foreskin. Your parents never gave you the chance to have an unbiased opinion.
Also people who are circumcised lose alot of the sensation and pleasure from the act of sex and masturbation. You'll never truly know what you are missing out on all because your parents screwed you over at birth.
@jackbenimble7 I don't think that song was actually in the movie, I know that its in the music from the movie, but I've never found a video with the lyrics in it, just the music.
@FabiusMaximus96 That's a shame, I remember hearing that song after seeing the play when I was a kid. Maybe I just need to sneak into Fiddler with a video camera and post it myself haha
@windstorm1000 Aye I know it's a musical, but I learned the music from the movie, which has some minor differences. Plus the fact that I've never seen a video of that song being preformed in a musical either. But what was your point about it being a musical anyway?
@romineyduncan That's why he's such a good metaphor. A fiddler on the roof is unstable and fragile, while still beautiful. To have the life of a fiddler on the roof is to be beautiful and magnificent, but do die shortly. Whether this is a real death is debatable.
this movie transcends judaism, im greek orthodox and much of this speaks to many diff cultures all steeped in traditions and its importance, i love this movie because its universal
...because the best place to hide the strongest and most sadistic efforts to destroy any innocent human being is behind the strong perception of principle and rule of law so really no clue why you need more control than a full blown military dictatorship to ensure it...
because that sort of establishes what can be done to each and every one of your own citizens to ensure their is never any potential of threat to any one of our interests - including any knowledge of our worse than warfare efforts that ensure absolutely nothing expect our ability to take away your reputation-as we leverage -sicken and hold hostage-enough of your people to ensure your own destruction -or any one that dare question it on behalf of their own people..
Every western power has some sort of rule of law when their one bad guy attempts to obtain certain material it is already conclusive proof of conspiracy of crime...but just so we can keep track of them with 1% of our global vacuum cleaner to ensure they don't slip out the back, why not start to tilt and destroy them with rules that are well outside the rules of overt warfare so we start to sink you for the rest of your life into a position worse than your worst criminal...
Everything about this movie-musical is perfect, but the editing in this vignette just absolutely blows me away. As someone who just recently learned what it takes behind the scenes to create such things, I am in awe of the people who sat for hours in the editing room, looking into a little box, literally snipping away with scissors to come up with this brilliant musical number. This particular number, though the intro, could easily be a mini-movie in itself - and be just as great as the whole.
One of my favorite musicals. Two world's in one town. The Jewish and the Christian {Catholic}. Different and separated. Yet very much the same in many regards. The Papa's. Mama's and children doing many of the exact same things. Working, cooking, homemaking, going to school and then to synagogue or church. I hope in the 21st century we can start to appreciate the difference's and bond over our similarities.
@Buffalobigboy69 Actually the christians are the Russian Orthodox. That's why in the bar scene 'LeChaim' the soldiers were Russian. They're not catholic. Not to mention the priest is dressed like a russian orthodox priest.
@hisbeloved120 Yes, your right i should have seen that. They are Russian Orthodox and not Catholic. Although we do have many similarities between the two. Even thought you corrected me. My point still stands.
It is very sad that schools take out this part of the musical. This shows how anti-religion schools are yet they have room for Gay Pride clubs and all this shit. No room for traditional American values.
L'chaim.

Jewish people sort of require it (it is "unclean" to be uncut bu Jewish standards). Unclean="not kosher", just like Jewish people are not allowed to eat animals with cloven hooves. Personally, I think ANYTHING that is permanent (even ear piercing) should be thought out by the individual, not the parents, when the individual is older.

@JBicks18 @Zhengda10 Yes there are things not accepted by all for instance I am Christian but see that the Muslim way of killing animals is the best and cleaner way than shooting them for instance slitting their throat and letting them drain has proven to be better and cleaner than shooting. :)

Euhm , i dont see why you are against circumcision?
I am Circumsized and i am realy glad about it when i hear that people can get infections EVEN when they
practice personal hygene,and i dont have to worry about Smega and such , that and from my experience i have learned that there are many ladies who think that it is much cleaner,(no offence against uncircumsied males) but that is what they told me and for me that makes it great :P

@dudefrombelgium I feel sorry for you. A functioning part of your body (protects the glans) was removed without your consent. Smegma is not an issue since most people have regular showers and as I said it's not like we're in the biblical times where bathing was infrequent and circumcision was often a necessary preventative measure.
I often wonder if those who claim they don't regret being circumcised would have chosen to have it done when they were old enough to decide. I doubt it.

Dont need Your Pitty.
I know men who done it at later age , some because they wanted to avoid having to.
I rather feel sorry for you because you are so ignorant that you can only see your view on this matter.
its true , it doesnt make much difference if one is circumsised these days exept for the females out there
who can appreciate it,
And altough the chances on infections are slim , the chances become even smaller.
How can you judge about it if you dont even have it yourself?
dudefrombelgium 2 months ago
@dudefrombelgium Your last "argument" is terrible. I can just as easily say you can't have an opinion on the matter because you don't have a foreskin. Your parents never gave you the chance to have an unbiased opinion.
Also people who are circumcised lose alot of the sensation and pleasure from the act of sex and masturbation. You'll never truly know what you are missing out on all because your parents screwed you over at birth.

For your information : my Nut feels the same and is as smooth as any other healthy Nut , but just dry.
I dont realy belive that you have the slightest idea on how strong my sexual sensation can be.
You are talking about this subject as if you know SOo well what it is to be circumsized,
But you dont know because you are not.
I can say many things but i know that i will never get trough your narrow mind so just leave it at this.
Peace.

@jackbenimble7 I don't think that song was actually in the movie, I know that its in the music from the movie, but I've never found a video with the lyrics in it, just the music.

@windstorm1000 Aye I know it's a musical, but I learned the music from the movie, which has some minor differences. Plus the fact that I've never seen a video of that song being preformed in a musical either. But what was your point about it being a musical anyway?

romineyduncan 3 months ago 35
@romineyduncan That's why he's such a good metaphor. A fiddler on the roof is unstable and fragile, while still beautiful. To have the life of a fiddler on the roof is to be beautiful and magnificent, but do die shortly. Whether this is a real death is debatable.

...because the best place to hide the strongest and most sadistic efforts to destroy any innocent human being is behind the strong perception of principle and rule of law so really no clue why you need more control than a full blown military dictatorship to ensure it...

because that sort of establishes what can be done to each and every one of your own citizens to ensure their is never any potential of threat to any one of our interests - including any knowledge of our worse than warfare efforts that ensure absolutely nothing expect our ability to take away your reputation-as we leverage -sicken and hold hostage-enough of your people to ensure your own destruction -or any one that dare question it on behalf of their own people..

Every western power has some sort of rule of law when their one bad guy attempts to obtain certain material it is already conclusive proof of conspiracy of crime...but just so we can keep track of them with 1% of our global vacuum cleaner to ensure they don't slip out the back, why not start to tilt and destroy them with rules that are well outside the rules of overt warfare so we start to sink you for the rest of your life into a position worse than your worst criminal...

Everything about this movie-musical is perfect, but the editing in this vignette just absolutely blows me away. As someone who just recently learned what it takes behind the scenes to create such things, I am in awe of the people who sat for hours in the editing room, looking into a little box, literally snipping away with scissors to come up with this brilliant musical number. This particular number, though the intro, could easily be a mini-movie in itself - and be just as great as the whole.

One of my favorite musicals. Two world's in one town. The Jewish and the Christian {Catholic}. Different and separated. Yet very much the same in many regards. The Papa's. Mama's and children doing many of the exact same things. Working, cooking, homemaking, going to school and then to synagogue or church. I hope in the 21st century we can start to appreciate the difference's and bond over our similarities.

@Buffalobigboy69 Actually the christians are the Russian Orthodox. That's why in the bar scene 'LeChaim' the soldiers were Russian. They're not catholic. Not to mention the priest is dressed like a russian orthodox priest.
