"Benji's workshop on the power of Jewish humor was terrific! Captivating fifty teens and keeping their attention for over an hour is a challenge for the most experienced of educators. Benji took them on a journey from serious discussion to fun/creative performance within minutes. They not only laughed, they thought and explored. Highly recommend."

Mordechai Cohen, Head of School, Alexander Muss High School in Israel

“Benji facilitated a fabulous team-building exercise for our PresenTense Global Fellows. Utilizing the tools, techniques, and theories of improv, they were able to build community amongst our group, and it taught them valuable lessons to apply to the Fellows’ venture development.”

Shelby Zitelman, Co-Director, PresenTense

“Benji designed an amazing workshop for our staff, enabling us to identify some of our misaligned expectations. In 90 minutes, we achieved breakthroughs in understanding how to work well together, and we laughed along the way!"

Sarah Vanunu, Director of Communications, Lapid Coalition for High School Age Programs in Israel

"Benji performed at a Yom Ha’atzmaut party we co-sponsored with Masa Israel Journey – he provided us with the perfect, hilarious, low-key Israel-focused program to help celebrate this fun day. The crowd was laughing the whole time, and we practically had to force them out the door at the end of the night! "

Julia Malkin, Associate Director of National Young Leadership, Jewish Federations of North America

“Benji's workshop on cultural differences was surprisingly refreshing. I appreciated that it didn't succumb to shallow stereotypes, but rather respected the many differences we all embody, and showed alternative ways to bridge the cultural gap.”

Shoshana F. , WeWork Dubnov, Tel Aviv

"Benji's workshop on improvisation taught me very important lessons in how to communicate but most importantly how to be a better listener when talking with a colleague. I brought his exercise back to my full staff and it was both helpful and impactful."

Gary J. Bomzer, President/CEO, Michael-Ann Russell JCC

"Benji's talk about the history of Israeli humor was both funny and educational. Using a combination of historical context and personal stories, his clips reinforced what our class had learned in a fun and interesting way. I would highly recommend his lecture."

"Benji Lovitt is a master educator. His blend of humor and history allowed our community to explore and engage with the complexity and beauty of Israeli society."

Rabbi Annie Lewis, Germantown Jewish Centre, Philadelphia, PA

"My students and faculty alike loved Benji's routine! I highly recommend him for any other group, especially for those who have recently or will shortly experience Israel - it's fun as well as educational too!"

Rabbi Matt Rosenberg, Executive Director, Texas A&M Hillel

"Benji's talk on the history of Israeli comedy was educational, inspiring, and very captivating. He is a very gifted speaker and the program was wonderful. I would highly recommend him!"

Rabbi Brian Strauss, Congregation Beth Yeshurun, Houston, TX

"Benji performed for a JCC Birthright group of summer camp staff. If there's someone else who does a better job of breaking down the differences between American and Israeli Jews, and in such a funny way, I haven't seen it. They didn't stop laughing for an hour and even the 'serious' conversation at the end was fun and educational. Benji should be a must on every Birthright tour."
