Laughter in a Time of Mourning with MODI

Hosted By: Moment Magazine

Can we still laugh while we’re sad and angry, fearful and uncertain about the war in Israel and rise of antisemitism? Join Israeli-born, Long Island-raised comedian MODI, for a conversation about the healing power of laughter and how it can bring us together as a community. MODI will also discuss his rise to fame as a Jewish comedian, the influence of comedians such as Jackie Mason, how it feels to be compared to comedic geniuses Robin Williams and Richard Pryor, and why making people laugh is his way of giving back to the Jewish community. In conversation with Joe Alterman, executive director of Neranenah.
