[segment 1]

[Tevye, spoken]
It isn't easy. You may ask, why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous?
We stay because Anatevka is our home... And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in a word... tradition!
[Music starts]
[Papas]
Who day and night
Must scramble for a living
Feed the wife and children
Say his daily prayers
And who has the right
As master of the house
To have the final word at home?
[All]
The papa, the papas... tradition
[sound drop], the papas... tradition
[Mamas]
Who must know the way to make a proper home
A quiet home, a kosher home?
Who must raise a family and run the home
So papa's free to read the holy book?

[All]
The mama, the mamas... tradition
The mama, the mamas... tradition
[Sons]
At three I started Hebrew school
At ten I learned a trade
I hear they picked a bride for me
I hope... she's pretty
[All]
The sons, the sons... tradition
The sons, the sons... tradition
[Daughters]
And who does mama teach
To mend and tend and fix
Preparing me to marry
Whoever papa picks?
[All]
The daughters, the daughters... tradition
The daughters, the daughters...

[parts re-sung as a round]
Tradition!
Tradition!
Tradition!

[Vivian Garfein]
Are you going to put the shamash in? Oh, you picked a blue one.
...broken. I know Becky had gotten one in rather quickly. Is it just because it was the shamash?
Take the whole thing, that's right. There you go.

[Becky Garfein]
Ta-da!

[Stanley Garfein]
The lights of Hanukkah are a symbol of our joy. In time of darkness, our ancestors, under the leadership of the Maccabees, had the courage to struggle for freedom. Freedom against the tyrant Antiochus IV. Freedom to be themselves. Freedom to worship in their own way. Theirs was a victory of the weak over the strong, the few over the many and the righteous over the arrogant.

[All]
בָּרוְּך אַתָּה יְיָ אֱֹלהֵינוּ מֶלְֶך הָעוֹלָם

[Stanley]
... having seen a great light.
[all singing]
Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
Come light the menorah
Let’s have a party
We’ll all dance a hora
Gather ’round the table
We’ll give you a treat.

[spinning dreidel]

[Vivian]
Do you get a Shin? Another shin. You just put in.
[Stanley]
Put another one in.

[very low audio]
Do you want to eat some more?
[kid]
I need some... no.

[Vivian]
Is it Becky's turn.
[kid]
Put one in.
[Vivian Garfein]
Okay, Becky, your turn.
Try again, its a small area. Wait [?].
That's a pretty good spin.

[Stanley]
Vivian, what did you want Nell for. Which Nell?
[Vivian]
Well, I'll call her later.

[sung in round]
Who can retell the things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age, a hero or sage
Came to our aid.
Hark!
In the Israel's ancient land...
[kid]I can't remember
[Vivian Garfein]
