Thoughts of an Orthodox girl from California adjusting to Manhattan life as a college student and attempting to understand her place within the Jewish people.

A bit of music.

Okay so I don't know if you guys are big "Fiddler on the Roof" fans. I, for one, was kind of fanatical about it growing up - in fact, when I started becoming more frum, I'm pretty sure my first fantasy about finding my bashert was that after getting engaged we would dash through the hills together while he sang "Wonder of Wonder, Miracle of Miracles..." to me. (You don't have to tell me what a cheeseball I am.)
So anyway, I do love the music, and was browsing online the other day when I stumbled upon this guy's videos on YouTube, of all places. He's an AMAZING piano player and plays all the best songs in a totally revamped way - in case you want to check him out, here's the first one I found of "Sunrise, Sunset": http://youtube.com/watch?v=f5N6PbLd46E I know, I know - "Fiddler" is SO 20 years ago, and none of you are excited by this. But believe me, this guy does more justice to the music than anyone else I've heard.
