What happens when a beloved musical becomes a mirror for every era—including our own?

Join the CNS Wondering Jews 65+ and JFCS ' Senior Social Hour for a special movie matinee of Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles (2019), the lively documentary that digs into how Fiddler on the Roof became a cultural touchstone.

We’ll enjoy popcorn and classic movie snacks while watching rare archival footage and delightful interviews with familiar favorites, including Harvey FiersteinLin-Manuel Miranda, original Fiddler lyricist Sheldon Harnick, director Joel GreyTopol, and other beloved figures who bring the musical’s story to life.

The film traces how Fiddler, when it opened on Broadway in 1964, boldly explored tradition, religion, and anti-Semitism while engaging with emerging conversations around gender roles, sexuality, and race—making it both timely and timeless.

Come for the movie, stay for the company—this is a warm, social afternoon to gather, connect, and enjoy a great film together.
