Nextbook has a top 10 list of the most memorable television bar mitzvahs. One of my all-time favorite Simpson episodes featured Lisa and the Rabbi Krustofski (Krusty’s dad) getting into a Talmudic debate. Krusty and his father had become estranged at early age. The Rabbi K wanted Krusty to follow in his footsteps, but Krusty wanted to become a clown. Lisa saved the day and reconciled the duo by drawing her trump card and quoting the well-known Jewish scholar, Sammy Davis, Jr. Which made the Rabbi K exclaim “Accch, The Candy Man!”. Anyway, I didn’t know that the rift had prevented Krusty from being bar mitzvah-ed. Apparently so, as the Krusty the Clown Bar Mitzvah comes in at #10.
