Her courtship and marriage pit Tevye�s love for his daughter against his deep-seated faith and loyalty to tradition. The clash between tradition and modernity, parental authority and love, customs and enlightenment are foreshadowed by the antisemitism of the rural community. Tevye's world is a microcosm of the larger world of Russian Jewry in the early 1900s The DVD extras include scenes from two Schwartz Yiddish language feature films, Yizkor and Uncle Moses, and program notes
