To dress like Mordcha from "Fiddler on the Roof," focus on traditional Eastern European Jewish attire from the early 20th century.

Yes, fiddler on the roof, is a metaphor. Tevye basically states this in the first scene "we are all like... a Fiddler on the ROOF!" as the first song Tradition (which is another very heavily used theme in the show) The fiddler and his shakiness, almost falling over, as Tevye also states in his opening "speech" represents the breaking with tradition that Tevye and his family do throughout the show.
The musical "Fiddler on the Roof" takes its name from the painting "The Fiddler" by Marc Chagall, which depicts a fiddler perched precariously on a rooftop. This imagery symbolizes the central character Tevye's struggle to maintain tradition and balance in a changing world.

Fiddler on the Roof is an delightful and moving play. Of course, the movie is done well also, but I suggest seeing the theatre production. It gives you a feeling for how hard life was in Czarist Russia, especially for peasants and Jews. The characters are so life-like and their stuggles are very real for the time. With the wonderful songs, characters, scenes, you will soon be captured in the world of Tevye and his daughters. I've seen the theatre production and the movie, and I assure you Fiddler on the Roof was probably one of the best plays I've ever seen. I laughed out loud and I had to hold in the tears and I was on the edge of my seat with excitement. When the characters were joyous, I felt their joy. I also suggest the play Les Miserables if you liked Fiddler on the Roof
That sounds like the beginning of a popular song called "If I Were a Rich Man" from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. It's a playful song about a man imagining what he would do with wealth.
