It would be great to find a middle ground so that everyone is personally free to do what they want while taking the best of our shared heritage to build a fair and just society.

When getting people in stressful situations to laugh is your goal call Avi Liberman. He brings Jewish and non- Jewish comedians to Israel twice a year for charity events and entertains the troops in Afghanistan as well. This year's show for the Koby Mandell Foundation had the audience laughing till they cried.
