I just wanted to show you guys this video in the hopes that you might want to feature it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy-uj7F7SUI

Thanks for the linkage.
For people who are interested further in the minhag of wimpels, I hope to have a post up shortly, with photographs and details on the oldest wimpel currently in circulation at KAJ - from a baby born in 1877.
