I know it is today

1965 for sure. She was in my bunk. 1966 pretty sure - believe that was the year she played "Tzeitel" in "Fiddler On The Roof."

1905

I was confused myself when I first heard it. I thought it was Tevye's first name. However, it seems it is a term similar to the English Mister/Master/Mr. It is respectful to call someone named Tevye "Mr. Tevye" for them. Listen for it in the dialogue and you will hear a few men of the village being reffered to as Reb Somebody the Occupation.

In the movie Fiddler on the Roof the fiddler has no name but if you read between the lines the fiddler represented the Jewish culture or was the "voice" of the Jewish people for the movie by representing the "traditions" through his playing. It's something to the representation to Antonio Banderas in the movie of the Evita where he was symbolically representing the people.

Fiddler on the Roof - film - was created on 1971-11-03.

Bielke is considered a supporting or chorus role, along with her sister Shprintze.

In "Fiddler on the Roof," the Jews are run out of the village due to rising anti-Semitic sentiments and political pressures. The local authorities, influenced by broader societal changes and a growing intolerance, order the expulsion of the Jewish community as a means of scapegoating and appeasing the non-Jewish population. This reflects the historical context of pogroms and persecution faced by Jewish communities in Eastern Europe during that era.

A "mad fiddler" typically refers to a fiddler who plays with intense passion, energy, or unpredictability. This term can evoke images of a musician who is deeply immersed in their craft, often leading to vibrant and chaotic performances. In some contexts, it might also suggest a fiddler who embodies a wild or eccentric personality. The phrase can be found in literature and music, symbolizing creativity and emotional expression.

Dafna is a character in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof," but she is not one of the main characters. In some adaptations and productions, she may be portrayed as a friend or relative of the main character, Tevye. However, she is not a central figure in the story, which primarily focuses on Tevye, his family, and their struggles with tradition and change in early 20th-century Russia. If you meant a different character or context, please clarify!

The fiddler has no name, for he remains anonymous.
