We got out, and I think it must have been close to winter, because there was a big billboard, and there was Santa Claus, who I'd never heard of before. I'd never heard of Jesus or Santa Claus, any of that. And he's sort of leaning back, holding a cigarette over here. And in the background, I'll never forget this, there were reindeer over there with the with a chariot or whatever they pull.

And he's like that, smiling with a big beard. All I knew was, oh, that's a rabbi. That rabbi is smoking a cigarette. And I didn't know that. And then when we came to my Aunt Magda's house, the wife of my mother's brother, Larry, who, bless him, had his own bakery and made a small fortune. And my waistline is proof of that.

And I want to tell you that I saw my first television set at Aunt Magda's house. And it must have been at the right time in the afternoon. They turned it on, and I had a spoon in a schmucker's jar, and I was eating the jam because I'd never tasted anything like that in my life. And both my aunt and my mom were laughing, tears and everything. I never saw a refrigerator.

I know this all sounds like, hey, I never saw a fridge. I said, in a Hungarian, because my Aunt Magda spoke Hungarian, not Hebrew. Mios! Mios! you know, like, I want a little bit of that. Can I taste it? And she said, of course. And she gave me a spoon expecting me to just take a little bit. And I put a little bit in my mouth and I thought she said, sure, you can have that.

So, you know, I started eating that and they turned on the television and I put down the jar because what I saw was a guy flying through the air with a cape. I'll never forget that. And I, no matter how good this was, I What is that? Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. This amazing land where you had movies and images and people flying through the air and big buildings. I was afraid.

I swear to you, I was afraid to cross the street at my Aunt Magda's house because there were cars going by. I was scared to death. Anyway, I could go on forever.

First, my mother, to keep me off the streets, put me in yeshiva. I was a Lubavitch. Well, what can I say? It kept me off the streets, but then I discovered girls.
