RTA: Alex Edelman

In this conversation with the very funny Alex Edelman, we talked about how comedy can be healing and a way for us to see through our differences. In his latest show, now available on HBO, Alex describes his experience attending a white nationalist meeting in NYC…as a Orthodox Jewish man. The stories that follows shows the brilliance of Alex’s humor. Aside from being hilarious, he is excellent at building bridges and showing us all how much more similar we are than different.  In a moment of immense divide, conversations like this one with Alex are a reminder to me of how important it is to build bridges and, of course, belly laugh together.
