When you're a funny person but the situation is far from funny. How does she do it?

Julie Levi Rothchild lives life through her funny lens, as she recalls in this episode how she made Aliyah to Israel 3 time, recounting the hilarious language barriers between her and the natives.

She describes how stepping into a profession as a medical clown helped her move past the depression that she was experiencing at the time. But most importantly, was the aspect of helping others - children and their families, when she was part of their health journey, and bringing light to them in their dark hour.

Finally, Julie took us back to October 7th - where darkness overtook Israel and the entire Jewish nation worldwide, as we dealt with the aftermath of death, kidnapping, losing loved ones and being a nation at war. How does a comedian deal with darkness you ask? Apparently, there is space for the feelings of darkness, mingled with humor, which Julie expressed in the months following those events. She also explains how the communities in Israel rallied together for their brothers and sisters fighting on the front line. 

Listen until the end to hear Julie’s “why” - to find out what is her true desire in life.
