Cool Jews! Rick, the Jewish Santa
BY CHANA SHAPIRO / AJT //
The AJT announces “Cool Jews,” our new man-on-the-street feature. We’re out in the community looking for the next meritorious Member of the Tribe right now; it could be you! This week, get to know Atlanta’s Rick Rosenthal, a Jewish Santa Claus impersonator.
Atlanta Jewish Times: Where are you going?
Rick Rosenthal: I’m a private party Santa this afternoon, and tonight, I’m a corporate Santa.
AJT: Tell me about your costume.
RR: I’m an “RBS,” which means I’m a “real-bearded Santa.” It’s my own beard! I own the suit, but only wear it for special occasions. Women tell me red brings out the blue in my eyes.
The Santa fat was a real bargain. I bought all this fat for only $15. The same amount of schmaltz would have cost over $400.
AJT: Are you really jolly?
RR: People always laugh when they see me. Does that tell you something?
AJT: What do you do when you’re not playing Santa?
RR: Mediation, arbitration, divorce coaching. I want to help people!
