OC Jewish Arts Festival: Comedic Evening with Chasnoff & Lovitt

Experience an entertaining comedy show at the OC Jewish Arts Festival at the Merage Jewish Community Center of Orange County with Joel Chasnoff & Benji Lovitt – Israel 201: Your Next-Level Guide to the Magic, Mystery, and Chaos of Life in the Holy Land.

In Israel 201, American-Israeli stand-up comedians Joel Chasnoff and Benji Lovitt pull back the curtain and show you the people, places, and phenomena that make the country truly unique, and that can happen “only in Israel.” From Yom Kippur bike sales to Jerusalem’s cat conundrum, shomer Shabbos car insurance to LGBTQ combat soldiers in the IDF, this is the Israel you haven’t heard about. In a hilarious tribute to Israel’s 75 years of existence, these comedians aim to educate both Zionists, those without any knowledge of Israel, and Israelis themselves about the magical beauty as well as the absurdity and chaos that accompanies life there.

Based on the authors’ own experiences living in Israel for a combined twenty-five years, and interviews with Israeli A-listers like Fauda co-creator Avi Issacharoff, Olympian Yael Arad, and others, Israel 201 is a behind-the-scenes look at the magic, mystery, and chaos of one of the most fascinating, and misunderstood, countries on earth.
