Welcome to What Matters Now, a new weekly podcast exploration into one key issue shaping Israel and the Jewish World — right now. As Israel celebrated Purim this week, putting on costumes and trading sweet treats with neighbors and friends, we took a brief, humorous break to speak with Benji Lovitt and Joel Chasnoff, comics, educators and speakers who recently launched a new book, “Israel 201, Your Next-Level Guide to the Magic, Mystery and Chaos! of Life in the Holy Land," written to mark Israel’s 75 years of existence. “Israel 201” (Gefen Publishing) is Chasnoff’s fourth book, and Lovitt’s first, and the 265-page book is an ode to life in Israel, with all its ironic, annoying and heartwarming aspects. It's a comic -- at times -- and in-depth primer to some daily aspects of life in Israel that are rarely discussed in book form. And as Israel grapples with the vagaries of the planned judicial overhaul, a new government and its 75th birthday, we talk about their path to this manuscript and What Matters Now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What Matters Now to Joel Chasnoff and Benji Lovitt: Love for Israel's magical chaos

Joel Chasnoff Zooms

Being deployed as an Israel Defense Force tank gunner in Lebanon doesn't sound like a lot of laughs, but US-born grunt Joel Chasnoff began a thriving stand-up comedy career based on his exploits.A mainstay of Jewish community functions and conventions, Chasnoff is now grounded in Israel. He speaks with The Times of Israel about coming to volunteer for the IDF as an old man of 24, finding out that the State of Israel didn’t consider him Jewish, and the continual culture shock of being a non-Sabra in the Holy Land.We’ll hear about how Joel does still continue to perform, and have a few laughs.Image: Courtesy Joel Chasnoff;  www.joelchasnoff.com/zoomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
