Fiddler on the Roof

I watched the movie Fiddler on the Roof some years ago and somehow, it gives us a glimpse of Jewish culture. The story basically revolves around a Jewish family: Tevye, his wife and his five daughters. Tevye follows Jewish traditions very strictly. His daughters, jewish singles, one by one finds love and moves progressively away from established Jewish customs. The movie also gives us a glimpse of jewish dating and traditions with regards to love and marriage.

I personally like the song Sunrise Sunset. It was sang during the wedding of one of Tevye’s daughters and practically tells the story of people falling in love then getting married and how the single women feel. Although the Jews still follow their customs quite strictly, jewish personals and jewish dating have somehow evolved and adapted the modern culture.
