The 'Rebbitzin'

~ The Rebbitzin ~ The 'Rebbitzin' is the wife of the Rabbi, the heart and soul of the Jewish family -as you'll see He studies his books I scrub all the nooks He adjudicates laws I cook and clean without pause He recites prayers, brings down God’s light Me? --I do laundry well into the night As for our nine children, who puts them in bed? Again me, after which betimes I think I am dead Now, I’m not complaining For this life I was training And the Rabbi’s a wonderful fella… But who am I? ~ Cinderella?
