It is our deepest pleasure to bring you this episode on Norman Jewison's masterpiece of non-auteurism: Fiddler on the Roof. Both of the hosts have a long and complex relationship to both this film and its source material and could wax for hours on its rich humanism and craft. The tale of Tevye the Dairyman and his daughters remains as fascinating and exciting today as ever! We promise! This movie is not boring at all (except for maybe a couple scenes with Perchik). Topics include: changes from the original stories, Jerome Robbins' opening numbers, and a major change in Alana's life.

Welcome back to Season 7 of The Jewish Road Podcast! If you've ever watched Fiddler on the Roof, you know the classic scene - Tevye, the village milkman, listens to two men argue, nods at the first and says, “You're right.”  Then he hears the other side and says, “You're right.”  A bystander protests, “They can't both be right!” And Tevye, caught in the tension, sighs, “You're also right.” That's Israel today. Stuck between two truths - both undeniably right, both in direct conflict. On one side, Israel must do everything possible to bring home the hostages taken by Hamas. It's not just strategic; it's a sacred, deeply ingrained Jewish value.  On the other side, Hamas must be defeated decisively, or this will happen again. Over and over. So, what's the right answer? Like Tevye's dilemma, both are right. And that's the tension Israel - and the Jewish world - wrestles with today. Key Takeaways The Jewish Value of Life: Israel's relentless pursuit of hostage rescue is rooted in Pidyon Shvuyim - the ancient Jewish principle of redeeming captives. The Threat of Hamas: If not stopped, Hamas will continue using hostage-taking as leverage, forcing Israel into impossible choices. Living in the Tension: The paradox of war - how do you fight when your enemy hides behind civilians? Wisdom in Holding Contradictions: In Jewish thought, struggling with opposing truths isn't a weakness - it's what it means to be Israel, “one who wrestles with God.” Chapter Markers [00:00] – Fiddler on the Roof and the art of holding two truths [04:30] – Israel's hostage dilemma and the principle of Pidyon Shvuyim [10:15] – The danger of negotiating with terrorists [15:40] – The impossible choices Israeli leaders face [20:55] – The bigger geopolitical shifts at play [30:10] – What this means for the future of Israel and the Jewish world [40:00] – What's coming this season on The Jewish Road Podcast   This season, we'll be tackling big questions, real tensions, and biblical insights that bring clarity to confusing times.  We've got some incredible conversations lined up with Israeli insiders, faith leaders, and historians who will help us unpack what's happening on the ground. - Follow the podcast to stay in the loop. - Leave a five-star review (we'd love to hear your thoughts!). - Share this episode with someone who needs a clear, grounded perspective on Israel today. - Visit TheJewishRoad.com for more resources, articles, and upcoming events.

In the Torah portion Bo, the Israelites are preparing for their final liberation from Egypt, culminating in the dramatic events of the final three plagues and the institution of the Passover ritual. This moment of divine intervention, where God commands Moses to tell the people to mark their doorposts with lamb's blood, highlights themes of faith, obedience, and survival against oppressive forces. Through the lens of Fiddler on the Roof, this story resonates with Tevye's struggle to maintain tradition in the face of changing times. Just as the Israelites had to trust in God's instructions to protect them, Tevye and his family navigate a world where ancient customs are threatened by new forces, whether through political upheaval or the evolving beliefs of his daughters. The tension between holding onto tradition and adapting to survival mirrors the Israelites' own experience in Egypt, where faith and perseverance led to their freedom, despite the overwhelming challenges they faced. In both narratives, the importance of identity, resilience, and faith in a higher power stands as a cornerstone of their survival and eventual triumph.

Leitura bíblica do dia: Provérbios 30:7-9 Plano de leitura anual: Amós 7-9, Apocalipse 8 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: No filme Um Violinista no Telhado (1071), o personagem Tevye fala com Deus sobre as suas finanças: “Tu fizeste muitos pobres. Sei que não é vergonha ser pobre, mas também não é uma grande honra! Então, seria terrível demais se eu tivesse uma pequena fortuna? Teria estragado algum plano eterno, se eu fosse um homem rico?”. Séculos antes do escritor Sholem Aleichem colocar essas palavras sinceras na boca de Tevye, Agur fez uma oração igualmente honesta, pedindo a Deus para não lhe dar nem pobreza nem riqueza, apenas o necessário (Provérbios 30:8). Agur sabia que ter “demais” poderia deixá-lo orgulhoso e torná-lo ateu, negando o caráter de Deus. Além disso, Agur pediu a Deus para não o deixar ficar pobre demais porque isso poderia fazê-lo desonrar o nome de Deus se ele viesse a roubar (v.9). Reconheceu Deus como seu único provedor, e pediu-lhe “apenas o que for necessário” para suprir as necessidades diárias. A oração dele revelou sua busca por Deus e o contentamento que é encontrado apenas nele. Que tenhamos a mesma atitude de Agur, reconhecendo Deus como o provedor de tudo o que temos. E à medida que buscamos a administração financeira que honre o nome do Senhor, vivamos com satisfação diante dele — Aquele que não apenas concede o básico, mas mais do que o necessário.

In this podcast, we dive into Fiddler on the Roof to examine how its portrayal of "tradition" and Jewish identity mirrors a broader historical struggle within Judaism. Set in the fictional shtetl of Anatevka around 1905, Fiddler on the Roof follows Tevye, a poor milkman grappling with changing times as his daughters challenge age-old customs. More than a story of family and culture, Fiddler highlights a common misconception about Judaism—that it values tradition merely for tradition's sake. This misunderstanding, we argue, has shaped Jewish challenges and setbacks over the past 200 years.Join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp Group Community by clicking the following link.Sign up Link for Shema Podcast for Perplexed WhatsApp Group Community ★ Support this podcast ★

All November we RAISE THE CURTAIN & BELT THE CHORUS for a musicals themed month and we're heading to a fictional Russian town called Anatevka for a folksy tale of a pious and poor Jewish family. This beloved stage show ran very long so perhaps it's no wonder that Norman Jewison's adaptation of “FIDDLER ON THE ROOF” was a box office smash for 1971. In it we meet Tevye' and his family. He's got 3 daughters at marrying age and the good book dictates that their marriages be arranged to benefit their family and status. Such is tradition! But times are changing in Eastern Europe in the early 20th Century and these kids got their own crazy ideas. With the weight of tradition and the dangers of society upon them can Tevye bend without breaking his faith? Starring Chaim Topol, Norma Crane, Leonard Frey and more. Music by Jerry Bock and adapted by John Williams. Angela has booked this month and much of it is Bob's introduction to many musical styles. The only one he's seen for this coming month is “Bye Bye Birdie” of all things. He's only seen three more beyond that. Hear us set fresh eyes and opinions on a beloved classic.

In "Fiddler On The Roof" Tevye considers traditions and new ways proposed by his daughters, as they are supported by his wife, he consults with one constant in his life: God. These conversations are the basis of his decision making, the outlet for his angry tantrums, and a balm for his suffering. Through these conversations, Tevye the milkman shares thoughts of love, wealth, justice, friendship, suffering, and, of course, tradition. Come with us, as we travel back to 1905, to Anatevka, and as we listen to Tevye's prayers and wait for God's response.

Daniel & Harry recently had the opportunity to be guests on You're Missing Out to discuss the 1939 Yiddish film Tevye, starring Maurice Schwartz. Enjoy!"He's as accustomed to the whip as I am to poverty."You might know Sholem Aleichem's celebrated comedic hero of Yiddish literature, Tevye (or Tevya) from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. But decades earlier, titan of the Yiddish theatre scene Maurice Schwartz got a camera and a cast together and brought Aleichem's stories to the silver screen for the first time with Tevye.We teamed up with Daniel Zana & Harry Ottensoser from Jews on Film to discuss the significance of this, the first non-English film ever inducted into the National Film Registry. We look at how it reflects the culture of the Jewish diaspora of both Aleichem and Schwartz's era, the brief but impactful Yiddish Cinema movement, and of course...tradition!Follow You're Missing Out on TwitterListen to You're Missing OutConnect with Jews on Film online:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

The gang sells their daughter off to LAZAR WOLF this week, as they review an all-time classic musical about life at the turn of the century in remote Russia, Fiddler on The Roof (1971). Based on the smash hit Broadway musical of the same name, the Norman Jewison directed film tells the story of Tevye, the Jewish milk man, and father of 5 daughters. Tevye must wrestle with tradition and the happiness of his family, while dealing with the sad reality of the spreading anti-Semitic sentiment of the local Authoritarian government.

"He's as accustomed to the whip as I am to poverty." You might know Sholem Aleichem's celebrated comedic hero of Yiddish literature, Tevye (or Tevya) from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. But decades earlier, titan of the Yiddish theatre scene Maurice Schwartz got a camera and a cast together and brought Aleichem's stories to the silver screen for the first time with Tevye. We teamed up with Daniel Zana & Harry Ottensoser from Jews on Film to discuss the significance of this, the first non-English film ever inducted into the National Film Registry. We look at how it reflects the culture of the Jewish diaspora of both Aleichem and Schwartz's era, the brief but impactful Yiddish Cinema movement, and of course...tradition! Today's episode is brought to you by Audible.

This Sunday we'll be reading one of my favorite stories about Jesus. In it, we'll see the Jesus I've put my whole trust in and the grace on which my hope is glued.The problem is…most scholars don't believe the verses we'll be reading are from the original manuscript of John's gospel. Worse…I believe them.However, that doesn't mean I don't count this story as accurate or true. It's sort of complicated – but we'll get into it more on Sunday.We'll be reading John 8:1-11 in our study of John, the story of the woman caught in adultery – or, as I prefer to call it, the case of spiritual malpractice.As you read this story, there are some very poignant questions you want to keep in mind. First and foremost is: Where is the man and accusations against him? According to Deut 22:23-24, both parties in this scenario were to be put to death. We assume she was betrothed since death by stoning is only mentioned for engaged people in the Law. Why might the religious leaders not be interested in the man in this relationship?If the woman were engaged, she lived in a culture where her husband had been picked for her by her father. Have you ever seen Fiddler on the Roof? Do you remember the daughters who had different ideas about marriage than Tevye? It's a very reasonable possibility that this woman had a young man in her life that she had fallen in love with and they gave in to their desires. I think it's really interesting that so many paintings and movies depict the woman of this story dressed in red and displaying the stereotypical attributes of promiscuity. I seriously doubt that was the case.Why do you think the narrator points out that Jesus stooped to draw or write in the dust, but didn't provide the details of what he drew or wrote? If what was drawn isn't important, what significance can you imagine would be conveyed by that action?Jesus' answer is possibly one of the most quoted passages in Scripture, next to “judge not”. Usually, both are misapplied when used. If Jesus meant that a person had to be sinless in order to carry out the judgements of the Law, nobody would ever have been held accountable. It's likely that he's pointing out Deut 13:8-9 which commands the accuser to strike the first blow. He's also saying something else – theses accusers need to look at their own hearts to determine if they're in a position to rightly defend God's righteousness this way. It's sort of like: “If we're gonna' get this serious about defending God's righteousness, we may need more stones than just for her.”By saying this, Jesus brings to light the most heinous sin being committed that day. What were these men doing by leveraging God's righteousness and the Law of Moses in order to get at Jesus? In what way were they using God's word and their faith? How can we keep from doing the same thing in our own context? Where do we apply God's truth, first and foremost?The graceful words that Jesus wraps around this woman are beautiful to me. His final command, to “go and sin no more” has been puzzled over a lot. He said the same thing to the man he healed at the Pool of Bethesda after he had been busted by the religious leaders for carrying his mat on the Sabbath. In both cases where this phrase was used, the context is one where people are being abused by religious authorities. Since going forward and living a “sinless life” was, and is, completely impossible for humans in a fallen world – perhaps he meant “change the trajectory of your life because these guys are looking for a way to get me through you.” I certainly don't know if that's the right way to read it, but it sort of tracks.Either way…that statement is placed at the very end of this story. How many steps can you discern that happened between Jesus' first meeting this woman until that statement? Did he lead with a command about sin? When did he express grace and release her from condemnation, before or after this command about sin? What might we learn from that?I'm really, really stoked about this study – I can't wait to dig into the scriptures together! Hope to see you Sunday!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

I've been plotting an episode on the subject of Dreams for a while. Given the profusion of music that references that altered state of consciousness, my challenge was narrowing down the topic. I chose to focus today on theater music (opera, operetta, and musicals) that references actual rather than figurative dreams. Even within these parameters, there was a plethora of material and as usual my repertoire choices are strangely and uniquely my own. So on this episode you'll hear everything from a 1965 recording of Tevye's Dream from Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, from the first Israeli production of the musical; Renata Scotto in late career essaying the haunted dreamscapes of Arnold Schoenberg's monodrama Erwartung; Mattiwilda Dobbs in a rare 1952 recording of “Ruhe sanft, mein holdes Leben” from Mozart's Zaide; excerpts from unusual French and German operettas featuring Robert Massard and Charles Kullman, respectively; birthday tributes to Birgit Nilsson and Richard Tauber; and the great Welsh bass Geraint Evans in a live performance of Bottom's Dream from Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. And much, much more, including a teaser of next week's subject the Italian lyric tenor Cesare Valletti; and Janet Baker live in recital in 1966, a preview of the first in a series of bonus episodes that will feature rare LPs from my personal collection. As always, thanks for your support; enjoy! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

Lawmakers in Georgia say they're now scrapping plans to introduce a measure that would have required media organizations and NGOs getting more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as “agents of foreign influence.” And, amid Russia's full-scale invasion in Ukraine, many of the country's top athletes returned back to their rigorous training routines. This fencer and wrestler are both focused on gold at next summer's Olympics in Paris. Also, the self-described global artist Yun-Fei Ji grew up during China's chaotic Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and '70s. He landed in New York City in the 1990s, where he expanded his art practice by living in two worlds. Plus, remembering Chaim Topol, who played Tevye in the acclaimed "Fiddler on the Roof."

Everyday we perform rituals, large and small, that beg the question-why? Our lives may answer, as does the famous milkman from the hit musical, "it's a tradition!" Traditions of all kinds are they so important to us, in small and larger ways. Jan shares a bit of his own Tevye as he celebrates the rituals of our lives.

In existing scholarship on Jewish subjects of the Russian Empire, there were three typical fates available to Russia's Jews on the eve of the Bolshevik Revolution: they could remain in the shtetl, leave for a new life in America, or participate in the Russian Revolution.  Tevye's Ottoman Daughter: Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews at the End of Empire (Libra Kitap, 2022) traces a fourth path, following the saga of Ashkenazi Jews who instead crossed the Black Sea to join their Sephardic coreligionists in the Ottoman capital of Constantinople and later Istanbul, or who joined agricultural farming communities in the Western Aegean sponsored by the Baron Maurice de Hirsch's Jewish Colonization Association. There, they considered, and reconsidered, the possibilities open to them, including eventual migration to Palestine, Western Europe, North America, and Argentina, Others stayed and forged a new life as an Ashkenazi minority in Istanbul, creating new organizations, places of worship, and political practices. These Russian Jewish migrants give us insight into the ethnic, religious, and political challenges as well as aspirations during the twilight years of the Ottoman Empire on the brink of Turkish statehood. Sarah M. Zaides received her PhD from the Department of History at the University of Washington, where she currently serves as the Associate Director of the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies.

In the movie Fiddler on the Roof, the character Tevye talks honestly with God about His economics: “You made many, many poor people. I realize, of course, that it’s no shame to be poor. But it’s no great honor either! So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune! . . . Would it have spoiled some vast, eternal plan—if I were a wealthy man?” Many centuries before author Sholem Aleichem placed these honest words on Tevye’s tongue, Agur lifted an equally honest but somewhat different prayer to God in the book of Proverbs. Agur asked God to give him neither poverty nor wealth—just his “daily bread” (Proverbs 30:8). He knew that having “too much” could make him proud and transform him into a practical atheist—denying the character of God. In addition, he asked God to not let him “become poor” because it might cause him to dishonor His name by stealing from others (v. 9). Agur recognized God as his sole provider, and he asked Him for “just enough” to satisfy his daily needs. His prayer revealed a pursuit of God and the contentment that’s found in Him alone. May we have Agur’s attitude, recognizing God as the provider of all we have. And as we pursue financial stewardship that honors His name, let’s live in contentment before Him—the One who not only provides “just enough,” but more than enough.

We'll talk about the Yiddish language production of Fiddler on the Roof that's just returned to off Broadway. Our guests will be Joel Grey, who directed it, and Steven Skybell who stars as Tevye.

HARVEY FIERSTEIN wrote the books ( or adapted the books ) for the Broadway musicals Funny Girl, Kinky Boots. Newsies as well as Torch Song Trilogy (Tony®, Drama Desk, and OBIE Awards), La Cage aux Folles (Tony® and Drama Desk Awards), The Sissy Duckling (Humanitas Award), A Catered Affair (12 Drama Desk nominations), Safe Sex (Ace Award), Legs Diamond, Spookhouse, Flatbush Tosca, Common Ground, and more. His political editorials have been published in The New York Times, TV Guide, The Huffington Post, and broadcast on PBS's “In the Life”. His children's book, The Sissy Duckling, is now in its fifth printing. As an actor, Mr. Fierstein is known worldwide for his performances in films like Mrs. Doubtfire and Independence Day, and on stage in Hairspray (Tony Award®), Fiddler on the Roof, La Cage aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy (Tony Award®), and TV shows such as “Smash,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Good Wife,” “Cheers” (Emmy nomination), “The Simpsons,” and “Nurse Jackie.” Acclaimed originally for his groundbreaking writing and performance in his 1981 Torch Song Trilogy, Harvey Fierstein has refined and redefined the persona of the drag queen in the theater. Two years later, Fierstein brought that insight and humor into his book for the musical adaptation of La Cage aux Folles. As Frank Rich wrote in the New York Times, this “is the first Broadway musical ever to give center stage to a homosexual love affair – but don't go expecting an earthquake. The show at the Palace is the schmaltziest, most old-fashioned major musical Broadway has seen since ‘Annie,' and it's likely to be just as popular with children of all ages.”  Fierstein subsequently wrote the book for Legs Diamond (1988) with music and lyrics by Peter Allen, who also starred in the show. He did not return to Broadway until 2002, when he took on the role of Edna Turnblad in the musical adaptation of Hairspray (book by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan; music by Marc Shaiman; lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman). According to Ben Brantley, Fierstein's performance as Edna “is not just a cross-dressing sight gag. She's every forgotten housewife, recreated in monumental proportions and waiting for something to tap her hidden magnificence.”  After playing Tevye in the 2004 revival of Fiddler on the Roof, Harvey Fierstein wrote the book and starred in the 2008 musical, A Catered Affair. As a writer and actor, Fierstein has won three Drama Desk Awards and four Tonys®, most recently for his portrayal of Edna in Hairspray. His most recent memoir is called I Was Better Last Night.
