During my early childhood (early 50’s) in N.E. Philadelphia, I listened to Gladys Gewirtz singing all the songs from the Jewish holidays and holy days on our big RCA-Victor S-1000.
My grandma Nessie’s hamantashen were so yummy I couldn’t stop eating them. Sadly, she passed away when I was 7 [Z”L]. Many years went by.

I still miss my Grandma!Read More About This…
