Fiddler On The Roof

Tradition is very important. The kids go to Hebrew school and their parents pick who they shall marry. In the circle of their town there are certain people who are more respected like the rabbi. In a family, people will have kids to help with farming the land. Although, Tevye has five kids, they are all girls who cannot help with the farming. Girls are chosen their husbands when they reach the age of twenty. Without tradition, their lives would be shaken, unstable, and chaotic. Tradition is a foundation that Jews rely upon to hold stability for their civilization. Everyone wears a prayersha to show their faith in God. Spitting on the ground after cursing is what they believe will remove the curse from their mouth. On the Sabbath day, they say a prayer before super and do not work on the Sabbath day. The fiddler on the roof represents how the Jews are. They are just trying to live life to its fullest while not breaking their necks doing so. They like to celebrate by drinking and dancing in the pub.
