Believe it or not, there’s more to Joel than being a podcast host, stand-up comedian, MC, NJBA award-winning author, and father of four. Having had a Jewish upbringing in Chicago, a few life-changing teachers at Solomon Schechter, and making the “best stupid decision” of his life to draft in the IDF as a lone soldier, Joel reflects on why, if he had to do it all over again, he would.

In this episode of Inside Israel, Joel takes the passenger’s seat as Inside Israel podcast coordinator, Yael Gargir, peels away the titles and gets to the core of who Joel is as a person. Sit back as we unpack the multi-talent figure responsible for making thousands of people smile.
