SUMMARY:Israeli Lunch with Benji Lovitt
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Israeli-style cRc Shabbat lunch will be served a
 long with challah and dessert.\nAfter lunch\, Benji Lovitt explores how Is
 raelis have always turned to humor during even the darkest times\, not to 
 be insensitive\, but as a coping mechanism. People often say that Hamas ce
 lebrates death and Jews celebrate life\, but what does that really mean?\n
 \nThrough TV/Youtube videos\, social media clips\, interviews with Israeli
  comics\, discussion\, and more\, come discover a perspective that's both 
 hilarious and therapeutic\, a morale boost that gives people "permission t
 o laugh". Signed copies of Benji's award-winning book\, Israel 201&nbsp\;w
 ill be available for purchase.\n\nSince making Aliyah in 2006\, comedian/a
 uthor Benji Lovitt has performed for audiences around the world including 
 JCCs\, Jewish Federations\, Birthright Israel\, and more. His perspectives
  have been featured in outlets such as USA Today\, Time Magazine\, BBC Rad
 io\, and the Times of Israel. Benji has worked as a cultural trainer for t
 he Israeli Foreign Ministry to help their diplomats overcome cross-cultura
 l differences and his book\, Israel 201 recently won a National Jewish Boo
 k Award.\n\n$20/Per Person\nRegister Here&nbsp\;\nIn partnership with JCC 
 Chicago and CJE SeniorLife.&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n
