Some comedians think of comedy as a higher calling, but Modi Rosenfeld knows exactly where the call came from. He points to a story of two comedians in the Talmud, men who gave cheer to those who were depressed and who made peace between those who were at war.

Modi also explains how doing comedy shows on Zoom during Covid changed the entire trajectory of his life and career.
