Time To Get Your Giggles On

You’ve seen how laughter can bring the light to Chanukah, but why end it there? We want to help you laugh with Israel all year long!

Keep the spark going by sharing your IsraelLove in a most humorous way!

From now through Purim, we welcome your submissions to LAUGH WITH ISRAEL to be included in a Global Purimshpiel!

The Purimshpiel is the traditional Jewish Purim comic dramatization of the stories of our history when our enemies tried to destroy us and yet we survived, outlasted, and rejoiced. But since there are SO many (too many) times in our history and even today that deserve reflection and celebration, we invite YOU to honor the Maccabees, Esther and Mordechai and continue to celebrate the defeat of our enemies by “killing them” with laughter! After all, laughter is a weapon of mass destruction when used correctly.

Whether it be jokes, sketches, improv, parody, film, satire or spoof, you can show your IsraelLove to the world.

Here’s how it works.

Gather your school, community group, youth movement, family or even just a random group of friends and participate with fellow Jews around the world in a Global Israel Comedy Fest.
