more from paul shaffer's book

From We'll Be Here for the Rest of Our Lives:

"When I learned Dave required quintuple bypass surgery, I immediately called the chief rabbi of the state of Israel to make a m'shabeirach, a special prayer for the sick.

'Is he Jewish?' the rabbi asked.

'No,' I said. 'But he's in show business.'

'Close enough.'"
