Summary

Mazel Tov! We're back in time again with Rebecca Rubin, the daughter of Jewish-Russian immigrants living out her showgirl dream in the LES during the 1910's. Rebecca has it all - creepy twin sisters, a penchant for showmanship, and a loving family (?). What doesn't she have? $64 candles and a cousin who may or may not be dying in a Fiddler on the Roof-esque Russian wasteland. She's a girl caught between two big decisions: support her love of candles or save her family? Tune in to find out!
