Join us for an insightful and engaging discussion with renowned comedian and speaker Joel Chasnoff as he delves into the current state of Israel. Joel grew up in Evanston, IL, where he attended Solomon Schechter Day School and Camp Ramah. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Joel kissed his mom and diploma goodbye in pursuit of an oversized, olive-green uniform. Serving as a tank gunner in the Golan Heights and South Lebanon, Joel chronicles his wide range of experiences in the IDF in his bestselling comedic memoir The 188th Crybaby Brigade. 

On his upcoming spring tour, Yachad, Joel will makeshift meaningful stories, uplifting workshops, and comedic performances into the glue that bonds Jewish communities closer together. During his visit to our community, Joel will repurpose the oys and joys of Jewish life in America into an invitation to laugh together.  Joel currently lives in Ra’anana, Israel, with his Israeli wife and their four kids.
