Throughout history, laughter has always helped Jews survive their enemies - from pogroms to the Holocaust to terrorism. Today's guest, Salvador Litvak, is the author of Let My People Laugh: Greatest Jewish Jokes of All Time! He takes us on his journey from his childhood in Chile and New York, to Harvard, NYU Law School and UCLA's film school - culminating in his becoming a film producer/director of several films including the upcoming "Guns & Moses" and now an author. He calls himself the 'Accidental Talmudist' and you will hear why. Even if you're not Jewish, you will find today's show fascinating on many levels and you will enjoy some laughs, as well.
