  Cancelled over one email: Yohay Sponder on comedy after Oct 7

  Aug 18, 202629 minS1

  Israeli comedian Yohay Sponder had a sold-out Amsterdam show cancelled because one person sent the venue a threatening email. His answer: "You got an email and you're scared?" Sponder has spent more than 20 years doing stand-up, but since October 7 his English-language act has become something else entirely, part comedy, part argument. In this interview with Ruth Marks Eglash, the Report editor-in-chief, he describes promoters who suddenly have no dates available six months out, protests in Europe, and a rescheduled Amsterdam show that sold a thousand tickets in about a minute once the story broke. What makes this conversation unusual is how personal it gets. Sponder lost a cousin at a kibbutz on October 7, buried his father four months later, and became a father himself, the trilogy of losses and beginnings behind his new show "Genesis," which followed his sold-out "Self Loving Jew" world tour.

  How does an Israeli kids' star sell out Denver's Red Rocks? | DJ Raphi

  Aug 18, 202643 minS1

  A talent agency advised DJ Raphi to hide that he's Israeli. He refused, then told WME he wouldn't perform a single Friday night or Saturday. They signed him anyway. Raphael Nathan, the Israeli entertainer known to more than a billion YouTube viewers as DJ Raphi, sits down with Chani Kaplan for the Jerusalem Report podcast. He describes the Zoom call where a WME agent warned him that weekends are where kids' shows make their money, and his answer: "You've never seen a harder working Jew between Sunday and Thursday." The agent's reply revealed that only one shomer Shabbat artist had signed with the agency before him. Raphi also tells the story of a six-year-old boy who danced to his cleaning song between surgeries, and of a mother at Red Rocks who grabbed both his hands and told him her daughter had watched his videos through a fourth round of chemotherapy. "It's not entertainment. It's not dancing," she told him. "You're changing people's lives." What makes this voice unusual: a South African-born, Jerusalem-based performer with severe ADHD and a childhood of bullying, who now sells out one of America's most storied amphitheatres for an audience of children, and who does it under his own Israeli name, at a moment when other creators are being told to hide theirs. He also speaks, for the first time in detail, about his mother, who cleaned his community's synagogue while raising four sons and was killed by a bus four years ago on her way to a shiva call. Produced and edited by Gadi Zaig and Shifra Jacobs.
