T hey” are a collection of men who have frequented the Goldberg home for decades since Sidney and Ethel Goldberg (all names changed) moved into their apartment on West 89th off West End Avenue in 1979. And “they” have been coming to the Goldbergs’ Purim seudah for as long as anyone can recall.
On a regular Shabbos the Goldbergs welcome six to ten regulars to their warm and inviting apartment.
On Purim their home is especially crowded.
There is Moishe the doctor. Though no one is quite sure what exactly he is a “doctor” of the Goldbergs are careful to refer to him as “Dr. Moishe.”
Beryl the baker is also a regular. He claims he was the first person in America to bake an authentic pletzel. He regularly complains that all the other bakeries stole his pletzel recipe.
