Kesher Talk

Naomi Chana has some Jewish history Barbie action figures for you.

We are obviously missing an opportunity here. For better familiarity with the less-frequently-televised portions of the Hebrew Bible, we could have Sotah Barbie (complete with ashes; High Priest Alan sold separately) and Barbie as Jael in the Book of Judges (complete with tent peg; Ken as Barak and Midge as Deborah also available).* Then there's the Second Temple, and Cast-off Foreign Wife Barbie (add Samaritan Kelly and some random kids from one of the family playsets), plus Queen Esther Barbie for the nifty clothing sets (poor Midge gets stuck as Vashti in that one). Barbie would be a natural as Queen Salome Alexandra, easily the most successful of the Hasmonean monarchs and a stellar example of the Barbie (tm) motto of my youth, "We girls can do anything."

It only gets better from there.
