Five funny years in Israel

Anyone who lives here in Israel knows that one of the most important virtues to cope with some of the day to day challenges is a sense of humor.

And nobody knows that better than Benji Lovitt. Of course, he’s a comedian, so that helps. But he’s also an Israeli – for five years now. And in honor of the fact, he put together a commemorative clip summarizing what his first five years as a transplanted Texan in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have been like. As Benji wrote in announcing the clip: “If it doesn’t make you either laugh or cry, maybe it’s time for a visit.”

Benji’s been chronicling his five years in Israel regularly on his blog – subtitled “Because the Middle East is funny” – and in stand up shows throughout the country. Happy 5th anniversary Benji, and keep making us laugh.
