In the world of Santas — yes, there is such a milieu — Alan Katz has found his niche.
Performing a role that evolved from a Christian saint, Katz has created an alter ego of sorts he calls the "Kosher Claus," a Santa with more chutzpah than ho, ho, ho.
Most of the time, he works regular Santa stints at shopping centers, where long lines of children wait to tell him what they want for Christmas. But at private parties and performances at local Jewish community centers, Kosher Claus emerges.
There, they may holler out for his classic tune. That would be "Oy Vey in a Manger."
This universe continues to astonish me.
