SUMMARY:Benji Lovitt - Israel 201
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening with Comedian\, Educator\, and Writer Benji Lovitt\, where he takes us on the journey through his new book – “Israel 201: Your Next-Lev­el Guide to the Mag­ic\, Mys­tery\, and Chaos of Life in the Holy Land” \nHow did Jerusalem’s cat prob­lem spur reli­gious debate? Why are Israelis so blunt\, even when the truth hurts? From shomer Shab­bos car insur­ance poli­cies and ancient mar­riage laws to Arab Israeli stand-up com­e­dy\, Druze high schools\, and LGBTQ activism in the IDF\, Israel 201 goes beyond the typ­i­cal intro­duc­to­ry “101” course to show read­ers the real Israel\, behind the head­lines. Based on the authors’ own expe­ri­ences liv­ing in Israel for a com­bined twen­ty-five years and inter­views with Israeli experts like Fau­da co-cre­ator Avi Issacharoff\, Olympian Yael Arad\, and oth­ers\, Israel 201 is a behind-the-scenes look at the mag­ic\, mys­tery\, and\, yes\, the chaos of one of the most fas­ci­nat­ing and least under­stood coun­tries on earth. \nBen­ji Lovitt \nSince immi­grat­ing to Israel in 2006\, Texas-native Ben­ji Lovitt has deliv­ered stand-up com­e­dy and cul­tur­al pre­sen­ta­tions for audi­ences around the world. His per­spec­tives on Israeli soci­ety and cul­tur­al dif­fer­ences have been fea­tured on Israeli tele­vi­sion and radio and in media out­lets such as USA Today\, BBC Radio\, Time Mag­a­zine\, The Atlantic\, and The Times of Israel. \nThis literary event was made possible with the generous support of the Jewish Book Council\, Books&Books\, and The Betsy Writers Room @thebetsyhotel
