A scene from Fiddler on the Roof 1971
Leibesh

Is there a proper blessing for the czar?

Rabbi

A blessing for the czar? Of course. May God bless and keep the czar... far away from us.

Tevye

As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick.

Mendel

Where does the book say that?

Tevye

Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken.

In this scene

Mendel Barry Dennen
