Have any of you seen Fidler on the Roof?

@Hannihar Like a little kid playing Tevye!

@snowy22315 That is interesting that you heard the music for Fidler in Elementary School. How was she as Tevye?

@snowy22315 Did she belt out the songs he sang in the movie?

@allknowing I love Tradition and Sunrise Sunset in it. The last song before they have to leave is very very sad. I loved that movie too and will watch it again because I want to honor Haim Topol.

@Hannihar Oh yes I did understand. My loving Irish Mother explained it to me. She was a very good heart and understanding person.

@RebeccasFarm She sounds very worldly and sounds like she was a very good and caring person that understood a lot of things.

@RebeccasFarm I am glad you saw the movie and yes he was 87 years old and he passed away. Would you see it now and when you were much younger did you understand the movie? There were progroms and Jews were forced out of their homes like Hitler did to them.

@Hannihar I am truly sorry. I am not comparing, not one bit, when I say that I know a bit about horrific things. My husband happens to be blind. He finally was employed in a good job when he was 45 years old. It took that long and a Master's Degree and a call to the governor to get through the discrimination. We've had kids throw eggs at us. Not sure why. And yeah, when I was a kid, some other kids did their best to get me to run in front of a bus. I truly am sorry for your family's sad history.

@sallypup Welcome to our world. The programs really happened and Jews had to leave their homes. My father was from around that part of the world and my grandparents on my mother's side too were from around that world. I never heard my father talk about his life where he grew up and my grandfather never talked to me about his life there either. I can just imagine that there were pogroms when they were growing up.

@sallypup Thank you and that is part of being a Jew going. There are so many that hate us and Hitler wanted to rid the world of us and people want us not to have our own country and not defend ourselves and if you ask them I bet they have no clue why they hate us so. So many just follow others that follow others. What you and your husband went through is terrible. People are so ignorant and do not try to understand someone else's pain. Kids are so cruel. There was a boy that lived by me that was so full of hate and he did not get it from his mother because she was a very nice person. That is terrible that there are so many bullies in the world and what they wanted you to do when you were a kid was so wrong and so mean and hateful. Why did they pick on you so when you were a kid?

@Hannihar I certainly intend to watch it one day.

@JudyEv I hope you do and I am surprised I do not see it on Netflix here unless it comes soon I looked it up on youtube and want to watch it again. It to me is a very special movie and my grandparents and father come from that area.

@JudyEv Ifeel it is a movie very much worth seeing.

@Nakitakona That is ok that you do not know who he is. We are very sorry for his loss.

@Nakitakona You are very welcome.

@Hannihar Thanks for being understanding.

@shaggin I just read an article on him by someone that once lived there and lives here now and it was very interesting. I am not going to put the link here because you may not understand it and how they both feel about Judaism and what they believe. That disease is terrible and so sad he has it and so sad that Bruce Willis has dementia. I like those two actors. Haim Topol I am very proud of because he is a very proud Jew and he showed it in his part in Fidler on the Roof. You may not have heard of him because he is an Israeli actor.

@Hannihar

@DianneN I have never seen the play but the movie I saw and want to see it again in honor of his memory.

@Kandae11 I have seen it two or more times. I had the CD of the music and love it.

@aureliah to me it is a very special movie.

@Hannihar I understand

@aureliah I am glad you understand.
