It's that time of year again; we're just days away from the annual Comedy for Koby winter tour. I'm always surprised to meet an Anglo who hasn't heard of it but anything is possible. B'kitzur, nice Jewish boy Avi Liberman is back, along with three more...
Shalom from a suburban Starbucks somewhere in North America. As I wrote on FB and Twitter a bit ago, if aliens ever do invade Planet Earth, they should disguise their spaceship as a Starbucks. The United States will enter the mothership willingly. Is there any...
Even though the Israeli tent protesters seem to be losing steam, let's not lose sight of their demands. The people have spoken: "Ha'am! Doresh! Ho-fa-ot Co-me-dy!" It's that time of year, my loyal readers. Fall is close, signifying the start of a new Jewish year, the leaves changing colors,...
"This is why I have a blog, take II." I'm filming a video tomorrow for a Jewish organization and it's happening at the 90th minute as we say in Hebrew. For the Americans out there, it's just after the two-minute warning and the home team has...

Hello, my loyal readers! Are you excited for July 4th, American Independence Day? Or as England calls it, "the nakba." I'm keeping two days myself; does anyone know a good egalitarian minyan with a mechitzah and hamburgers? Just remember the important historical lesson here: no...
Hey, guys-just a quick note from the ROI Summit 2011. I'll be making people laugh here: Tonight, there's a talent/variety show open to the public for my fellow conference participants. I'll be doing stand-up; you're invited! Come have a drink and meet talented people from around...
We're still a few hours away but since Jpost already went live with it, Chag Ha'atzmaut sameach! If you made it here from Jpost, welcome! If you enjoyed this list, then be sure to subscribe to my mailing list on the right for more hilarious...
Good morning, everyone-are you enjoying your Pesach? Can you believe here in Israel we're more than five days into this thing? Two more and it's chametz time. (Kind of like Hammer Time but with more bread and less booty-shaking.) I spent three nights last week around...
