Happy 75th birthday today to Chaim Topol, the creator of one of the most iconic Jewish characters of the stage and screen.
Despite many other appearances in movies and on TV, it is with his portrayal of the frustrated, rule-driven patriarch Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof that Topol is forever associated - returning to the part time and time again, most recently on the US stage in 2009.
And of course, what better way to celebrate than with this most appropriate song - the anthem of many of our lives, surely?
