Check out these pictures of a Hasidic elementary school reenacting the wedding of Rivka and Issac and pity the poor little boys who were assigned the role of women. Those of you with no local hasidim may not realize it, but this reenactment is an annual event and beloved tradition. God only knows why. It's survival is a mystery right up there with our ongoing insistence on telling little kids that "Rivka was three when she got married" when so many more palatable interpretations are available.
