Introducing our third comedian:
One of the fastest-rising stars in comedy, Tehran is a powerhouse performer with a one-of-a-kind background: Black, Persian, Muslim, and Jewish — streetwise and Ivy-educated. His bold, brilliant blend of cultures gives him a voice that’s as thought-provoking as it is hilarious. Tehran has been featured on Comedy Central, HBO, and FOX, and when he’s not touring across the U.S. or internationally, you can catch him bringing down the house regularly at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.

Introducing our second comedian:
An Israeli-Jewish comedian and the founder/producer of Comedy for Peace. Erik has performed at top venues across the U.S., including Carolines on Broadway and The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, and has opened for major headliners like Maz Jobrani and Zarna Garg. His international tours have brought him to stages across Europe, Israel, and even Tokyo. He’s been featured on NBC, performed at the New York Comedy Festival and other major festivals, and has racked up over 3 million views on TikTok. His comedy is clever, high-energy, and full of surprises—drawing from his life as a recent immigrant, a forty-something newlywed, and a proud Hebrew-English speaker who thinks in Falafel 24/7.

Every child deserves the tools they need for successful learning, and your generosity can make a real difference. In the spirit of Tzedakah (charity), let’s embody the Jewish value of giving and ensure that every student starts the year strong!

Visit JewishTulsa.org/school-supply-drive/ to see the Amazon wish list or drop off your supplies in the lobby of Jewish Tulsa by August 31st.

In 2025 alone, ADL documented dozens of protest-related antisemitic incidents and nearly 530 incidents of harassment at synagogues in the U.S.

That's why we welcome the Right to Worship Act, a bipartisan bill built on the framework ADL helped develop to protect the right to worship while preserving the right to peacefully protest.

We're grateful to Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Elissa Slotkin, Congressman Brad Knott and Rep. Tom Suozzi for their leadership and bipartisan commitment to ensuring that everyone can worship freely and safely.
