Gain a richer understanding of Israeli resilience by viewing classic comedy clips, social media posts, and video testimonials from Israeli comedians.
Since making aliyah in 2006, comedian Benji Lovitt has performed for audiences around the world including JCCs, Birthright Israel, Jewish Federations, synagogues, and more. His perspectives have been featured on Israeli television and radio and in outlets such as USA Today, Time Magazine, BBC Radio, The Atlantic, and the Times of Israel. In early 2023, Benji co-authored his first book, "Israel 201", about the magic, mystery, and chaos of life in Israel, which Mayim Bialik calls "fabulous". Benji has worked as a cross-cultural trainer with groups including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Masa Israel and during 2014's Operation Protective Edge, his humorous observations on the war led to his being called in Israel "the only reason to go on Facebook.”
