@Emirichan317 this happened to my grandfather, but the other way around obviously. its very sad how religions can ostracize someone for marrying outside the faith. And it is the religion. It's often written into the holy books. :/

@islander658 I think Germany had the right idea..... when they made it illegal to say hate speech back in the 80s. :) bet I surprised all of y'all. In all seriousness tho, racism is stupid. Only idiots are racist, and they all eserve a small kick in the shins.

@mchapin86 You've missed the point entirely....

I'm not Jewish, but I love this film so much, one of my favorite musicals time. But I can relate also: My parents would not any longer if I married a non-Greek Orthodox Christian. I do not mind though. I'm sure someone will come along that I could love.
-
@mchapin86 That's like saying it's so sad how love can tear families apart like this.
-
@ShadeStar64 oh yeah i kno that, no i was just sort of defending religion by making it clear that this was never supposed to be the way. especially for christians. if my children married or did something counter to our religion i would love and accept them because thats how we are to live our lives. rejection and a hard heart are the worst sins. i dont know about others but i read my doctrine. I agree that this is historically accurate definatly, no one has a right to outcast others

@snakedemon11 Not that I don't completely agree, but this is historically accurate. Unless the other person converted (and then even in only the most liberal households), any jew and christian who were married would be cast out from BOTH of their families. And it is more correct to the source material, which was written for jewish people about sticking to tradition as much as you can despite all the changes going on.
-
@mchapin86 religion isnt a club to some people, and if you truly look into the religions, families should not be torn up like this, so this is their mistake not the religion's.

I read the comments; people aren't getting it. For example, suppose you belong to a little group; my group tells you, "We'll 'let' you become full fledged citizens...all you have to do is 'fit in'. Give up all your traditions, your language, your history."
And later, I renege. "We changed our mind. You'll always be scum, no matter what you do. In fact, we reserve the right to take your property, your kids, your lives. And you can't do squat about it."
I don't blame 'em for being paranoid.

@mchapin86 It wasn't just religion... It was heritage, lifestyle, beliefs, hopes, dreams... The way things were and supposed to be. It was everything and Chava rejected all of it. How could Tevye understand that?
