The Power of Story: Rekindling Our Shared Humanity
With Noa Baum
Long before there were written words – people told stories. Storytelling is at the core of human experience, nourishing the deepest roots of heart and mind. Stories help us find meaning and connection, whether it’s our holiday celebrations or our family stories. We tell to remember who we are. Award-winning Israeli storyteller and author, Noa Baum will introduce us to the art and application of storytelling connecting us with hidden treasures and timeless wisdom. She will share personal and traditional stories and introduce some of the many practical applications of this art form in education, healing professions, peace building and business.

Dotan Malach (Erik Angel)

He tours Europe regularly, has opened for major headliners including Maz Jobrani, and has performed in Tokyo and Israel. He has been seen on CBS and have more than 2M views on Tik-Tok. His comedy is very surprising, clever, high energy, deals with being a recent immigrant, fortyish, a newlywed, that he's Jewish, and speaks English-Falafel 24/7.
Comedy for Peace is not a political show. Just in case you were wondering.

The first goal of Comedy for Peace is to show everyone that we can, very easily, collaborate, standing on one stage together, to have fun and to laugh on ourselves and on each other, without any politics involved.
