In this fun and educational program, comedian Benji Lovitt explores how Israelis have always turned to humor during even the darkest times, not to be insensitive, but as a coping mechanism. Through standup, TV/YouTube videos, social media clips, interviews with Israeli comics, discussion, and more, we'll discover a perspective that's both hilarious and therapeutic, a morale boost that gives people "permission to laugh."

Pre-registration is required for this free event.
