Jewish humor isn’t entertainment. It’s survival.
In this episode of Echoes of Jewish History, I sit down with Modi Rosenfeld — one of the most influential Jewish comedians of our time — to explore comedy, identity, resilience, Israel, and what it means to be a Jew in a post–October 7 world.
This interview blends Jewish history, stand-up comedy, free speech, cultural identity, Israel, and Jewish life into one conversation that is sharp, honest, and deeply relevant right now.
If you’re searching for conversations on Jewish identity, antisemitism, Zionism, Israeli culture, Jewish resilience, or modern Jewish comedy, this episode will be easy to find — because it’s built around exactly those themes.
