    Special tribute to Ukraine suffering

    Yesterday we shared a concert with two exceptional vocalists, Molly Anne Ross (soprano) and Juan Mansilla (baritone). We played the middle portion of "Fiddler on the Roof" as a tribute to the those suffering in Ukraine; "Far from the Home I Love". This was not listed on our program but it was very well received by the audience.

    "Far From the Home I Love" (from Fiddler on the Roof)

    Here are the lyrics sung in case you can't catch them all...

    How can I hope to make you understand
    Why I do what I do?
    Why I must travel to a distant land
    Far from the home I love

    Once I was happily content to be
    As I was, where I was
    Close to the people who are close to me
    Here in the home I love

    There where my heart has settled long ago
    I must go, I must go
    Who could imagine I'd be wand'ring so
    Far from the home I love?

  2. Nice idea.

    I'm reminded of a snippet...

    Rabbi: I have blessings for everyone
    Villager: Even for the Czar?
    Rabbi [pauses, thinks and then in Majestic voice]: May God bless___, and keep the Czar... ... ... far away from us!
