“Benji had us laughing the whole time. Many of the students in the room had spent time in Israel, so they were able to connect with what he was saying and laugh about their own experiences through Benji’s hilarious stories.”
-Lea S., University of Maryland
Benji Lovitt’s hilarious stand-up comedy about life in Israel is a must-have user guide for anyone considering a visit (or move) to the Holy Land. By deconstructing the details of Israeli culture and the immigrant experience in Israel, Benji’s energy and enthusiasm will make you laugh out loud as he sheds light on El Al security, Jewish holidays, and exactly what makes American and Israeli Jews different from each other.
Benji’s show spans the entire “Israel journey”, from the initial feelings of euphoria when arriving on your first trip (“Omig-d! Everybody’s Jewish!!!”), to the complicated and sometimes frustrating emotions that only a new immigrant could understand (“I don’t know how to read my bills but if I don’t open them, they don’t exist.”)
Benji has performed in clubs across North America and Israel and for groups such as Taglit-Birthright Israel, Masa Israel Journey, the Jewish Federations’ General Assembly, Hillel, Israel Bonds and more.
