Blood is Thicker than Chicken Soup

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'To me, if you live in New York or any other big city, you're Jewish. It doesn't matter even if you're a Catholic. If you live in Butte, Montana, you're going to be goyish even if you're Jewish. Evaporated milk is goyish even if the Jews invented it. Spam is goyish and rye bread is Jewish.' (LENNY BRUCE)
In the last of two programmes. Rabbi Hugo Gryn examines the integration of Jewish humour into American life and finds out how a new generation of Jews - both here and in the States - have found a voice for their anger and self pity in a potent new humour.
