A Rabbi, A Lawyer and a Chiropracter Walk Into a Comedy Contest,,,, with Bob Alper
Description
My guest today on Specifically for Seniors is a practicing Rabbi and stand-up comedian. Bob Alper has been seen on Good Morning America, Showtime, The BBC, CNN and was featured on Extra, TV’s top rated entertainment program, immediately following a segment on the size of Jennifer Lopez’s butt.
Bob and I talk about how a Rabbi got started as a stand-up comedian, why he feels that humor is holy, hs 'gentle' humor, his book - Life Doesn't Get Any Better Than This - and how his father used to shower with the lady next door.
Bob talked about performing and explained several of his programs - The Spirituality of Laughter and his Laugh in Peace Tour where he performs with Christian and Muslim comedians.
Bob enlightened me on Albana's role in saving Jews during the holocaust and how Albania was in contention for becoming a Jewish state.
We got serious at the end of the podcast about the war n Gaza, anti-semitism and the pro-palestinian protests in New York City.
