His first movie, the raucous & inspiring When Do We Eat? (Max Greenfield, Jack Klugman, Ben Feldman, Shiri Appleby, Lesley Ann Warren), became a worldwide Passover tradition. His most recent film, Saving Lincoln, explores the close friendship between Abraham Lincoln and his bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon. Sal wrote both films with his wife, Nina Davidovich Litvak. As the Accidental Talmudist, Sal shares daily posts on Jewish wisdom, history and humor with over a million followers.
