Growing up my dad was a big fan of fiddler on the roof. Sometime in my early teen years my dad had us watch it on a new years eve. I don’t remember if I was instantly hooked, but I grew to like it. I even defended it to many who had a shallow view of the musical being only a Jewish thing. Now looking back, there are a few great lines I go to often. In the last few weeks, there have been two in particular that ring true.
Lately we have had our share of health problems, life stress, and the usual events of life. In the movie, Tevye isi having one of those days as well. He says: “I know we are the chosen people…but once in a while couldn’t you choose somebody else?” Words to live by.
Another time a friend of the family, a young upstart from Kiev exclaims that money is the world’s curse. Tevye steps out of his barn looks up at the heavens as cries ,”may God smite me with it…and may I never recover!”
I have had opportunity to feel these quotes this week and thought I would share them with you.
Okay, I keep checking for “Insight from Brandon” and nothing. I have been quiet for quite a long time, especially for me! Smiles!
