An Evening With Joel Chasnoff

In commemoration of Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day, join us for an evening of laughter and celebration with Israeli-American comedian Joel Chasnoff. Author and winner of the National Jewish Book Award for his latest book, Israel 201, Joel wears multiple hats. A versatile and polished stand-up comedian and speaker with over 20 years of performances, he’s presented his unique brand of clean, uplifting Jewish comedy for more than 1,500 Jewish audiences in North America, Europe, Israel, and Australia.

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. For more on Joel, including comedy clips and testimonials, visit: joelchasnoff.com
