It's Okay to Laugh with Benji Lovitt

By URI Hillel

Monday, October 27, 2025 6:00pm to 7:30pm EDT

In this engaging and educational program, Israeli/American 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, Benji will provide a perspective that's both hilarious and therapeutic, a morale boost that gives people "permission to laugh."

Before Benji's presentation, students will enjoy an Israeli dinner together. Click here to register.
