Still not ruling out another run for president in 2020, Hillary Clinton attended Fiddler on the Roof “in Yiddish” shortly after a rash of anti-Semitic attacks in New York.

Video shows Clinton backstage after the performance on Sunday, talking about the need for “empathy and understanding”.

“Maybe we can bring back some of that empathy and understanding that is being squeezed,” she said, saying it is being “squeezed away.”

“We can’t let that happen,” she said.

The classic Broadway play is being presented in Yiddish, “a language used by Jews in central and eastern Europe before the Holocaust.”

“Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish is the winner of the 2019 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical Revival,” Broadway World reports.

There have been a string of attacks on Jews in New York recently, culminating with the stabbing of five in Rockland County, allegedly at the hands of Grafton Thomas, a black man.
