When Bubby Was Young

A very cute parody of When Zaidy Was Young (with permission from the Kundas) about the establishment of Bais Rivka. Faiga feels left out in her public school class, especially after the other frum girls move to the new Bais Rivka school, recently opened by the Friediker Rebbe. Papa thinks it’s a waste of money and refuses to enroll her. Her principal is annoyed at all the school she is missing from her various holidays, especially when Sukkos falls out the same day as the Mayor’s honorary visit to school. She insists that Faiga attend, or she will fail and be held back. In true Himmelstein fashion, Faiga writes to Mayor LaGuardia for help. Desperate to win the Jewish vote in the upcoming election, Mayor LaGuardia champions Faiga’s cause and donates the tuition for her to attend Bais Rivka.
