The Magic Door (1962)
1990's
I was actually on this show in the 90's! I was 11 years old and I filmed an episode in Chicago where I grew up. I played a girl at a carnival who learned the value of spending quality time with family as opposed to spending money on material goods such as toys, ice cream, candy, prizes, etc. My brother on the show and I traded our money for a jar of beans. The man who sold it to us told us that the beans were as good as money and that we could spend them on anything at the carnival. The catch was that we had to use ALL of the beans before sunset or we had to give all of our "goods" back. It was very cute and while it had no "Jewish theme", it did send a very good message to children. I'm not sure when the Jewish stories and puppets left the show, but I do know the morally themes episodes entertained children till at least 1993 when I was on the show.
