I’ve always loved Chelsea Handler even before I knew anything about her. Mostly just because her last name was my dj name. I used to go by dj handler and I haven’t told many people why I went by that name, so here goes…”DJ’s nowadays spin tracks made by DJs/Producers. Meaning DJs are spinning/handling DJs and thus was born my post modern nom de guerre, dj handler. Oh, back to the point….Here’s a recent clip of a Shabbat dinner re-enactmentment with Rabbi Shmuley and the Chelsea Lately crew.
