About Joel
A Chicago native, Joel attended Solomon Schechter Day School in Skokie, IL and Jewish summer camps throughout the American Midwest. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Joel traded his diploma for a black beret and boarded a plane to Israel to fulfill every Jewish mother’s dream of serving in the IDF. Assigned to Battalion 71 of the Armored Corps, Joel served as a tank gunner in the Golan Heights and South Lebanon – an experience he chronicles in the comedic memoir The 188th Crybaby Brigade (Simon and Schuster).
Joel’s written four best-selling books, including Israel 201: Your Next-Level Guide to the Magic, Mystery, and Chaos of Life in the Holy Land (Gefen) which he co-wrote with fellow comedian Benji Lovitt. In Israel 201, Chasnoff and Lovitt pull back the curtain to unveil a comprehensive portrait of the country that extends beyond the typical Israel narrative.
In the words of former prime minister Ehud Barak, whose effusive blurb appears on the back cover of Israel 201: “This wonderful book will show you the Israel you didn’t know you didn’t know.”
Other notable figures within the Jewish community, including Mayim Bialik, Yossi Klein Halevi, and David Broza have praised Joel and Benji’s 5-year labor of love for Israel.
To date, Joel has performed his unique brand of clean, uplifting comedy for more than 1,500 Jewish audiences in ten countries. Highlights include the Melbourne (Australia) Comedy Festival, Montreal’s Just-for-Laughs, two Off-Broadway shows, and Israeli late-night TV.
