From the NY PostShalom, Dolly!
* Popular toy maker American Girl will introduce its first Jewish doll at the end of this month -- a Lower East Side resident from 1914 -- and the move has prompted some kvelling and kvetching among local Jews.
Elan Steinberg, former director of the World Jewish Congress, raved, "This doll is bubbe-licious!"
Rabbi Marc Schneier agreed. "My only concern is that she has kosher tea parties," he joked.
But some discerning shoppers say the doll's not quite kosher."She's a cute little girl, but there is nothing particularly Jewish about her," Z.C. Fishof said.
