...to all my fellow Jews out there.Ok...I'm not actually Jewish. However, I do light a menorah in memory of my Uncle Cy. Last year, I was having some trouble figuring out the order of the candles, but a Jewish friend set me straight. I know I'm supposed to light it at sundown, but I thought it would be nice to wait until Mrs. TBF gets home from work.
Now...where is she?
By the way...
Does anybody from Chicago remember this one?

Come through the magic door with me, just say these words and wondrous things you'll see.
NOTE: I have noticed that several people have found my blog by doing a Google search for "Where can I buy hanukkah candles in Chicago?" Although it's a bit late, you can buy them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or at Pier 1 Imports.

The Magic Door was a wonderful Jewish kids program that was on Sunday mornings. Since the Jewish kids had to go to temple on Saturday that was there rip-off excuse for a kids show. My brother and I would watch it before we went to church on Sunday.
How dare you think I would not remember.....
tms - Well...at least there were two kids up at 7:00 on Sunday morning in Chicago during the 70s.
Make that 3 kids!
R.I.P. Cy!
I remember this show too! Found your 'blog by searching for the song lyrics.
The Wikipedia article seems to have them a bit off from our memories.
I found your blog because I was searching for the lyrics "come through the magic door with me" because it has been lurking in my brain for at least 35 years. Over the past few months, I've found myself singing it to my baby and I wasn't sure where it came from. I grew up in Chicago, so apparently, I'm not the only one that can't get it out of their heads. Along with the lyrics, "He's Hardrock, he's Coco, he's Joe." That's a whole 'nother story, but I'll bet others here remember it, too.
