He's gotta love it because the Tevye Fiddler on the Roof shpiel was invented by another of the dime a dozen koifer Tzionim who were empty of Torah observance

The Tevye Fiddler on the Roof shpiel was actually brilliant, written by Shalom Aleichim who was not a Zionist at all but a YIddishist like many of those who came out of Volozon Yeshivah, and were runa de'ruba empty of Torah observance!

Even if Sholem wasn’t a Tzioni, I was. Hence my name is ZERO!

I used to have a teacher that would say"
"Shut up before you talk to me"
Your hatred of Jews who identify as Tzonim is so great that you are totally blinded by your utter ignorance!
Zero was born in Brooklyn, and his parents were galiziyaners! He had absolutely "zero" connection to Israel or Tziyoinim!
In fact two of his nephews learned in Chasan Sofer on the lower East side!
Shut up before you talk to me !

there is a joke by musicians:

if you play a violine for 20 years, you automatically become jewish.

I'm not sure now if it goes the other way around?!

When the Brisker Rav once lit the Menorah there was a broom in the corner of the room. He asked that they should take away the broom otherwise they will say that the Brisker Rav was makpid to light the Menorah next to a broom. (Today in Brisk they place a broom in the room and have it removed before lighting)

In Nadvorna a similar story happened. A violin was in the room but weren't told to remove it. Because of not removing the violin Klal Yisroel were Zoche to the most beautiful Rubbishe Music.
