Spread Zionism with a Smile

Yachad is now the operative word in Israel, and no wonder: it's the Hebrew word for "together."

 

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. Your community is invited to authentically engage with Israel. We’ll deliberate, reflect, and of course, laugh together!

 

There will always be time for Q&A.

Connecting to Israel…
One Word at a Time

Yachad workshop and discussion content is based on Israel 201, winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Education and Jewish Identity.

Comedy

Resilience is a core part of Jewish DNA, and humor is our secret weapon. Sit back for an hour and leave the laughs to Joel as he reminisces about his journey from Solomon Schechter class clown to his experiences as a Lone Soldier in the IDF, and showcases the joys and oys of life in Israel today.

Purity of Arms 

How does the IDF navigate the moral dilemmas of war? For that, Israeli soldiers have Purity of Arms, Israel’s code of battlefield ethics, referencing and inspired by several Torah verses. Together, we’ll dissect it and discuss how IDF soldiers apply the code in real time.
