Monday movie night #7: Fiddler on the roof

Posted on Jun 12, 2024

For Monday 17 June at 6pm we planned the movie “Fiddler on the Roof”.

From one of the SSP members:

Based on Sholem Aleichem’s writings about Jewish communities around 1900 in the area of what is now Ukraine. The movie explains a lot about rural Jewish communities, and the tensions between tradition and modernity. It ends with the forced migration of the Jewish community as the result of a progrom. It addresses many difficult topics but it’s a musical and has many fun parts.
