[quote:hillbilly:MV80MDY0ODA4Xzc3MDM2OTEzXzYxQTMyRURF] I've no time for your stupid REPOSTED questions. Repost my previous answers if you are that bored. This is the proper way to treat your neighbors, doesn't matter which religion you are in America. [b]We are ALL Americans and ALL God's children.[/b] [quote:https://forward.com/culture/437931/on-elvis-presleys-85th-birthday-a-story-of-his-brush-with-jewishness/] [b]On Elvis Presley’s 85th birthday, a story of his brush with Jewishness[/b] by Anne Cohen and Sigal Samuel January 8, 2020 | Kurt Hoffman [i](Editor’s Note: This story ran in 2014 as part of the Forward’s “Our Promised Lands” series. We’re revisiting it today in honor of what would have been Elvis Presley’s 85th birthday.) In the summer of 1954, Elvis Presley released his first single. He had one problem: He couldn’t play it. The aspiring 19-year-old singer was living with his parents at 462 Alabama Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee. With rent at $50 a month, his family was too poor to afford a record player. So, as he often did, Elvis turned to his upstairs neighbors for help, [b]Rabbi Alfred Fruchter and Jeannette Fruchter, his wife.[/b] “He asked to borrow our record player. Mom said: ‘Elvis, you’re in luck. We’re going away for the whole summer, so you can have it,’” their son, Harold Fruchter, recounted. Harold Fruchter has only dim memories of having Elvis Presley as a downstairs neighbor. But he does know that Elvis was the first person to carry him up the steps, just days after he was born, in July 1952. According to family lore, when Jeanette Fruchter came home from the hospital, Elvis ran down and said, “Mrs. Fruchter, may I have the honor of carrying your newborn upstairs?” “Our addresses were the same, which means my birth certificate has Elvis’s address on it, which is pretty cool,” Harold Fruchter said. Though the Fruchters left Memphis in 1955, their brief brush with the King left an indelible mark. Until her death, Jeannette Fruchter spoke of “the nicest boy you could ever hope to meet” with tears in her eyes. When he graduated from L.C. Humes High School in 1953, she was there with a gift: Elvis’s first pair of cufflinks. Black onyx, to be exact. The two families were close. Gladys Presley, Elvis’s mother, sat down most afternoons after work to chat with Jeannette Fruchter. When the Presleys were short on money, the Fruchters helped pay their electric and water bills. And Elvis Presley even acted as a Shabbos goy for the family, turning on the lights and gas stove for “Sir Rabbi,” as he called Alfred Fruchter.[/i] [/quote] [/quote]
