Shabbat Dinner with “The Spokeskid of Israel” – Ben Carasso



Join YJP Melbourne for a special Shabbat dinner featuring a truly unique guest speaker: Ben Carasso, widely known as The Spokeskid of Israel.



Ben is an 11-year-old Israeli spokesperson, influencer and advocate who has captured the attention of audiences around the world by sharing what life in Israel looks like through the eyes of a child.

Born and raised in Israel, Ben has grown up in a reality shaped by conflict and resilience. Since his birth, Israel has experienced multiple military operations, with rockets regularly fired from Gaza towards Israeli cities. Following the events of October 7, Ben felt a deep responsibility to help people around the world understand what Israeli children are experiencing.

Through social media and public speaking, Ben courageously shares his story and perspective, giving a powerful and heartfelt voice to the experiences of young Israelis living through challenging times.

This special Shabbat dinner will provide an opportunity to hear directly from Ben, connect with community, and reflect together in a warm and meaningful Shabbat atmosphere.
