Winner of the National Jewish Book Award
In Israel 201, Joel and co-author Benji Lovitt pull back the curtain to show you a more comprehensive portrait of Israeli society, beyond the typical “101” basics.
From Jerusalem’s cat conundrum to the Israeli Olympic team’s obsession with “barefoot sports,” this is the Israel you need to know, behind the headlines.
“Chasnoff and Lovitt have given us a gift.”
