Tevye is eager to marry off his girls to wealthy and learned men. But Tevye faces a dilemma when Tsaytl, his eldest daughter, begs him not to force her to marry Layzer Wolf, a wealthy butcher. Instead, Tsaytl has fallen in love with Motl Komzoyl, a lowly patch tailor at the very bottom of the Jewish social and professional hierarchy. In this lecture, Professor Wisse introduces the conflict between tradition and modernity as it takes shape through the generational divide between Tevye and his daughters. Tevye comes from a world where parents choose their daughters’ spouses; Tsaytl seeks to break this mold. Tevye wants wealth and status for himself and his daughter, but Tsaytl is content with love and the modest life of a tailor’s wife. But this story has a happy ending. When Tevye looks closer, he realizes he and Tsaytl are not all that different. He, too, likes Motl more than Layzer, and he appreciates the value of a simple, honest living. And so this rift between Tevye his daughter can be bridged, and the chain of tradition can remain relatively unchanged—for now.\n
