Attention Transsexuals

You DO NOT have to bind/pack to be who you are

You DO NOT have to be on hormone therapy to be who you are

You DO NOT even have to define yourself with a clear-cut label to be who you are

But you DO have to:

Point out random fictional characters and say "that's gonna be me someday"

Reb Tevyre I'll tell you... I don't know.

My dad isn't the biggest fan of musicals but there's one he's always loved and one we bond over: Fiddler on the Roof. It's become "our thing" over the years...so this celebrity death hits pretty damn hard.

Topol will always be our Tevye. He knew how to strike the perfect balance of humor and tragedy and just exuded a comforting presence. I'm gutted, but just like the show says, "Life has a way of confusing us, blessing and bruising us." This is definitely bruising us, but we're also blessed by the fact he was here in the first place

Thank you for everything, Topol

May your memory be a blessing ❤️

The longer those who worship power, the more they are undermining liberty for the rest of us and certainly for our children, and children’s children. Read more.

We have lost a legend today in Chaim Topol, who immortalised Reb Tevye onscreen in Fiddler on the Roof. Zero Mostel originated the role on Broadway, but Norman Jewison was keen to hire someone who did not bring a pre existing persona to the role, and so the role went to Israeli actor Topol. He was a rogue choice - only 30, a role of a man supposed to have adult daughters, and with very little English, but Jewison's casting was inspired. Tevye would become the role of a lifetime for Topol - he would play him onstage more than 3,500 times.

During the famous If I Were a Rich Man scene, he later revealed that he was fighting a horrendous toothache, claiming that he sounded odd because of it. The scene took three days because of the pain. It's still a wonderful scene - take a look below.

L'chaim, sunrise, sunset. May his memory be a blessing.

A post to mark the death of Chaim Topol. Known for his portrayal of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, he player the role on stage for over 50 years and also in the 1971 film. Here from the film is “If I Were a Rich Man”. _________________________ If I Were a Rich Man Songwriter: Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock

If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

I'd build a big, tall house with rooms by the dozen Right in the middle of the town A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below There would be one long staircase just going up And one even longer coming down And one more leading nowhere, just for show

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks For the town to see and hear Squawking just as noisily as they can And each loud of the"gee", be it "gow", be it "geh", be it "guh" Would land like a trumpet on the ear As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man"

If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

I see my wife, my Goldie, looking like a rich man's wife With a proper double-chin Supervising meals to her heart's delight I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock Oy, what a happy mood she's in Screaming at the servants, day and night

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me! They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise "If you please, Reb Tevye..." "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..." Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong When you're rich, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack to sit in the synagogue and pray And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day And that would be the sweetest thing of all

If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum

Lord, who made the lion and the lamb You decreed I should be what I am Would it spoil some vast eternal plan If I were a wealthy man?

whenever i say the word tradition the little reb tevye who lives in my mind starts singing and dancing

I'm watching Fiddler On The Roof, and just heard these lyrics from "If I Were A Rich Man":

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me! They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise "If you please, Reb Tevye..." "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..." Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong When you're rich, they think you really know!

It's a song about Elon Musk!!!

What is the musical you are hyper fixated on at the moment??

Cuz…I’m currently hyperfixated on Fiddler on the Roof. It’s…it’s just so good. It’s beautifully written. And it’s gut wrenching. And I love a period piece. Anyway…fiddler on the roof. Please reply to this and tell me what musical is currently burned in your brain. I’m back in my ✨listening to cast albums era✨
