(Composer Jerry Bock had already passed away, but his estate gave their approval to the new versions as well, saying he would have been similarly touched at the request.)

** Similarly, Golde and Yente have a similar friendly interaction as well, as Yente giddily tells Golde she plans to move to Palestine and perform her matchmaking there. To put it in perspective, Yente was also severely resentful of Motel and Tzeitel's marriage during their wedding, feeling quite aggravated that her matchmaking services had all gone to waste.

** A Russian villager extends his hand to Tevye, and Tevye offers his fingertips gingerly, as it wasn't considered appropriate for Jews to touch Gentiles. But within a minute they're dancing around with their arms over each other's shoulders, and Tevye beams, "I like it!"

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hszJv-P2yNE film version]] absolutely ''makes'' this song. Rosalind Harris, playing Tzeitel, doesn't have a word of dialogue the entire scene. And yet, while Motel is dancing around the forest like a giddy goofball, she never takes her eyes off him, and she's ''beaming'' the entire time. It's plain to anyone's eyes that she's bubbling up with just as much joy as her fiance - she looks like she's ''drunk'' on him, like her entire existence revolves around him, like she couldn't possibly ever be any happier than she is right at that very moment. It feels like the joy blazing between them should have burned the entire forest to the ground. This, tropers, is how a Heartwarming Moment is done.

** This troper didn't see it as a heartwarming moment, but rather a tension filled moment.
** There's definitely some tension, but once Tevye shakes the Russian man's hand and begins to learn the Russian dance the tension eases.
** It's heartwarming because it shows that if not for the political pressures it would be possible for them to become friends. It's the possiblity of something better.

* A meta example, but this troper got to see Topol, who portrayed Tevye on West End and in film versions, onstage during his "farewell tour," when he played Tevye one last time. He was well into his seventies, but seeing him bring such energy to the performance was a CMOH all on its own.

* When Tevye and his family are about to leave Anatevka forever, Tevye sees the Fiddler nearby, waiting for an invitation. In most productions, and in the film, Tevye motions for him to come along, implying that even though the community has been uprooted, their traditions will continue to travel with them.

Among those dancing is the Fiddler himself, showing that after spending most of the play only observing the action, he can now join dancing with the rest of the villagers.

But then he realizes, more important than money and security, is the fact that the two are in love. When he comes back to reality, he sighs and asks, "So children...we shall we have the wedding?"
