The Work / Fiddler of Kiev
Fiddler of Kiev
From Fiddler on the Roof to the ubiquitous fiddler in the works of painter Marc Chagall to world-renowned musician Itzhak Perlman, the violin has long been associated with the Jewish people. What accounts for this connection? Some scholars have concluded that Jewish musicians were the ones responsible for the instrument. A further link between Judaism and the violin may lie in the Hassidic musical tradition. The violin appeals to the Jewish soul because of the intensity of its music. Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as, as... as a fiddler on the roof!" The fiddler of Kiev, depicts a traditional Fiddler from the shtetl, with traditional hat and rust colors
