"It's Ok to Laugh: Coping Through Dark Humor"

In this fun and educational presentation, Benji Lovitt explores how Israelis have always turned to humor during even the darkest times, not to be insensitive, but as a coping mechanism. People often say that Hamas celebrates death and Jews celebrate life, but what does that really mean? Through standup, TV/Youtube videos, social media clips, and more, we'll discover a perspective that's both hilarious and therapeutic, a morale boost that gives people "permission to laugh".
