  • You know.. a couple of days ago I remembered when I was writing an essay about Jewish woman's portrayal in movies. And I read that during Sabbath it was inappropriate to remind the family about it's problems.

    And then this part 'May God make you good mothers and wives/May he sends you husbands who will care for you'. Given the fact that finding men for three daughters IS a Problem for Tevye, don't you have a feeling these words shouldn't be here, even as a wish?

  • I wish to know words. Please somebody write

  • @Jamiekennywicked Ruth was a convert to Judaism. Esther saved the Jewish people from the evil Haman who wanted to kill all the Jews of Persia (Iran).

  • @ReviewCam I feel just the same each time I hear this song. Smth from my roots, from my grandparents in their childhood. I can hear it again and again...

  • @jamiekennywicked: Ruth and Esther are two heroines of the Bible. Each one has her own book in the Old Testament. Get a Bible and read them for yourselves and then you will know.

  • I love this song. But, who are Ruth and Esther

  • This is my favorite song and scene from the movie. While Sunrise/Sunset is beautiful, Sabbath Prayer touches my soul, especially the end where the camera pans through the homes in the village on a dark night.

    Candles lit in every home against the darkness. Then the united chorus, "Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer!" at the end.

    I get choked up even thinking about it.

    TY for posting this!

  • I heard the entire movie was filmed with a nylon on the lens to get the desired soft effect. Pretty interesting, if it is true.

  • The only problem was that the end was cut.

    I love this.

  • I guess I should add I'm on my daughters account. Hmmmm....
