Rabbi Hyman Krustofski is the Jewish father of Krusty the Clown.
History
Hyman Krustofski was born on June 7. 1929. He became a respected Rabbi in Springfield's Lower East Side. He had a son, Herschel Krustofski, who wanted to become a clown instead of a Rabbi, which Hyman wanted him to be. He eventually abandoned Herschel after he sees Herschel perform as a clown onstage. Years later, Bart and Lisa find out about Herschel, a.k.a. Krusty's abandonment by his father and they do everything they could to convince the Rabbi to reunite with his son. After several attempts, Lisa eventually convinces Hyman to change his ways by quoting from Sammy Davis Jr.. Hyman later met his son backstage on the Krusty the Klown Show, and the two embraced after many years. Hyman Krustofski appeared in front of the audience playfully throwing a pie at Krusty. [1]
When his son decide to get a Bar Mitzvah, Rabbi Krustofski says he never gave Krusty one because he wouldn't take the ceremony seriously, which caused Krusty to become a devout Jew and thus refusing to work on Saturday. Homer was given a show during Krusty's time-slot and it is so popular that Krusty's show is cancelled. In a move of desperation, he decides to televise his Bar Mitzvah. It proves to be extremely successful, but disappoints Hyman. Krusty decides to have a real Bar Mitzvah in a real Shul, which pleases his father. [2]
