Jerry Seinfeld needs no introduction. But Leah Abrahams might—she’s a producer with Virgin Radio in Toronto, and the latest guest on The CJN’s comedy interview podcast, A Few of My Favourite Jews. Her favourite Jew is the seminal comic, whose work dominated her upbringing and seeped into her psyche.
