#tevye the dairyman

[catboymoses]

I love fiddler but it's so sanitized that reading the original tevye the dairyman stories feels like seeing your favorite my little pony characters consumed by a plague in a fan animation

[clairyclue]

tevye is the ultimate girl dad tbh he loves them so much

(ignore when he disowns chava he forgives her in the book i think)

Back in Russia I knew two girls who were as close to married as two people can be, although they would probably hate me saying so – real radicals, who would have told you that marriage was womankind's prison and that ownership was a poison to love. But I don't share this prejudice of theirs so I don't mind if I say that they were wife and husband to each other.

I just learned Chaim Topol, who played Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, died on March 8th this year. He was 87.

I was looking up the Flash Gordon movie to see if Topol was in it, because I always thought so and just now remembered I could look it up within seconds. He was in it, by the way.

Like a lot of people, Fiddler was a prominent film in my childhood and I wanted to acknowledge Chaim Topol, at least in this small way. May his memory be a blessing.

So you've heard of Tevye the Dairyman, right? You know, the novel Fiddler on the Roof was based on? Well, originally in Hungary the book was called Tobias the Dairyman. Tobias instead of Tevye... Nope. Luckily they later renamed it to Tevje the Dairyman.

Fiddler on the Roof:

The highest-grossing film of 1971, got eight oscar noms and three wins. Topol immortalizes Tevye the dairyman as a father poor in finances and rich in daughters who need to get married. Overall it was such a huge hit that it was immortalized by Sondheim in Merrily We Roll Along as a show that the characters hope to surpass in terms of success

Singin':

The ultimate. The movie about making movies. A 1950s fever dream set in the 1920s. Gorgeous people, in gorgeous costumes, singing gorgeous songs. Gene Kelly actively trying to kill himself with fever and making an iconic masterpiece of a title number. "People!?! I ain't people! I am a glittering star in the studio fermement. It says so. Right there."

Jukebox musical so good no one these days even knows it's a jukebox musical. Amazing dance sequences. As close to a canon ot3 as you can get in the 50s. Seriously just watch that Moses Supposes sequence and tell me those two goofballs aren't married.

Sometimes you dip back into the original Tevye the Dairyman stories and go "Oh shit, I really did base a huge amount of who I am on this character via stories and musical. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now."

[jewishjoy]

Doing this on anon because. Very new to this all and im a touch anxious. So, I recently found out that I am of Jewish descent and want to connect more with my roots, if that makes sense, but I don't have access to any of that irl. Any advice? -sammy

Hey Sammy! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, that makes sense :) It's awesome that you wanna learn more about your heritage! I'm sorry you don't have any way to do that in person. That's hard for me, too.

Books have been very helpful for me. You could head down to your local library and look in the 290s (200s are Religion in the Dewey Decimal System. 290s are Comparative and Other Religions) for general information about Judaism.

Online communities are great! Follow people, message people, make friends, join Discord servers - you know the drill.

You can also check out resources like jewishvirtuallibrary.org, reformjudaism.org, and chabad.org.

Think about what you love, what you're passionate about, and ask yourself how you can connect to Judaism through that. Love novels? Look up some Jewish authors (I like Sacha Lamb and Neil Gaiman, just to name a couple), or check out old Yiddish stories (like Yentl the Yeshiva Boy, or Tevye the Dairyman). That sort of thing.

The most essential things are just to be curious, ask questions, and don't be afraid of asking questions. I know it feels weird to start learning about this vast culture that you haven't really been exposed to, but you will be welcomed with open arms.

Best of luck to you. Please feel free to hit me up with anymore questions! If anyone else has recommendations for Sammy, please share!

Heat is Mann’s postmodern American translation of Tevye the Dairyman (with definite shades of The Dybbuk and Der Goylem) — deeply personal, imbued with his own history — whereas Collateral is a spiritual successor to Billy Wilder’s filmography and The Jazz Singer, posited as: “Hey, wanna see something fucked up?”

We all know and have Feelings™ about Fiddler on the Roof, right?  What is Fiddler?  It’s a universal story of parents and children, it’s a charming, nostalgic look at the vanished world of the shtetl (and a rather pointed lesson in why that charming world vanished), it’s caffeine-free diet klezmer* for the WASP theater-going set.  It’s based on a set of short stories by Sholom Aleichem about Tevye the Dairyman and his five daughters. There’s something about it that sounds . . . comfortingly, ineffably Jewish, even amidst all the Broadway decoration.

We sort of have a memory that the 1964 musical Fiddler on the Roof wasn’t the first time that the Tevye stories made it to stage or screen.  If we took certain types of Yiddish classes, we might have seen the 1939 Yiddish film Tevye.  But how did we get from there to Topol dancing around on screen?

Here, Chassie Margolis sings a Yiddish song about railroads.  Around 1945, she taught it to a fellow named Serge Hovey, who was a composer and an ethnomusicologist.  Hovey later wrote the music for a show called The World of Sholom Aleichem, and a show called Tevya and His Daughters.  The former show did okay, and even got a film version in 1959.  The latter show made it Off-Broadway in 1957 . . . and it seems more than likely that Jerry Bock might have heard it.  Take Chassie Margolis’s song about a railroad, pass it through a couple of composers and Broadway arrangers and shake it up a bit . . . and doesn’t it seem like it could be a direct ancestor of “Tradition?”

Fiddler on the Roof is sanitized nostalgia, but it does come by its Jewish bona fides honestly.

CE 1905: The year the plot of Fiddler on the Roof is set

Set in the Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire in the turn of the 20th century, Fiddler on the Roof, a musical, is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Dairyman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem (written in Yiddish between 1894–1914) and influenced by Life is with People, by Mark Zborowski and Elizabeth Herzog. Aleichem wrote a dramatic adaptation of the stories that he left…

It follows the life of Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his struggles to maintain his religious traditions and provide for his family in a changing world.

Amidst this backdrop of societal upheaval, Tevye must grapple with his duty to his family, his love for tradition, and the challenges posed by the broader world.

Throughout the film, Tevye frequently breaks the fourth wall, speaking directly to the audience, and also engages in conversations with God in an effort to make sense of the tumultuous events unfolding around him. The film touches on various themes, including the clash between tradition and modernity, the power of love and family bonds, and the impact of social and political change on individual lives.
