"These too are destined for the World to Come."
 Rabbi Beroka went up to them and asked them "What do you do?"
They said to him "We are comedians. We go to cheer up those who are depressed." (Talmud Tractate Taanit 22a)

I became a certified medical clown in Israel in 2012.

I volunteer wherever my services can be helpful.


one of Maimonides’ halakhic rulings:

… For no joy is greater or more glorious than the joy of gladdening the hearts of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and the strangers. Indeed, he who causes the hearts of these unfortunates to rejoice emulates the Divine Presence, of whom Scripture says: “To revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones” (Is. 57:15)...”.53
