Jewish Humor Stewart Rappaport


We all have a warm spot in our hearts when it comes to Jewish Humor. It’s a part of our heritage, a part of our religion and a part of how we are. I mean, who doesn’t like the occasional rabbi that walks into a bar, or the story about the Jewish mother?

There are many Jewish comedians out there and you can even say that most comedians out there are probably Jewish or have Jewish roots. Just to name a few, you’ve got Woody Allen, Lewis Black, Mel Brooks, Lenny Bruce, Danny Kaye, Jerry Lewis, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, really… should we continue? It can take all day.

Nobody really knows what is it about Judaism that turns so many into comedians and stand-up artists and this week in Café Chabad we want to think about this issue with the help of Stewart Rappaport, the world renowned Jewish comedian.

Winner of the 2005 Jewish Week’s Comedy Contest, Stewart Rappaport has been doing stand-up comedy for over 15 years and has entertained many groups. He has starred in many regional theater productions, from “Fiddler On The Roof” to various Neil Simon comedies, such as “The Odd Couple” and “Broadway Bound”.
