From Rob Tannenbaum, one of the Good for the Jews guys:
 The most popular answer to "Who is the greatest living Jew?" was Mel Brooks, which seems inarguable. However, here are our winners:
"The answer is Jesus Christ. What other Jew ever orchestrated his own resurrection from the grave?"
– Ed Miller
"I am the greatest living Jew. What, you know someone greater?"
– Helen Feinstein
Ed and Helen will both have a pair of tickets waiting for them at the Highline Ballroom box office on Monday night. Showtime is 8pm.
[MUG says: the rest of you can buy your tickets here. It couldn't hurt.]
One more week to go.
We appreciate each and every vote for MUG as Best Local Blog!
