Stars of David with Elon Gold

Israeli viral comedy sensation Yohay Sponder opens the new season of Stars of David.

Join Elon Gold and Eli Leonard for a fast, funny, and heartfelt conversation about comedy, Jewish identity, and truth-telling through jokes. They talk about Sponder’s rise from clubs to sold-out theaters, why Jewish humor matters right now, and what it means to perform with real stakes—plus plenty of riffing, roasting, kvetching. And Elon's parents are back with a Yiddish word of the week.
