Chanan Volk is a student at the Aish Hatorah Yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem. He is also a content creator with 5k+ followers, shifting between genres of Israel advocacy, Jewish education, satire and more personal content.
In our conversation, we talk about his journey from the Conservative Movement for Judaism in California to his Orthodox life in Israel, where he recently became a citizen!

It was an engaging conversation and we hope you enjoy!

Episode 8: Joseph Cohen (AKA Israel Advocacy Movement)
What an honour!
I was privileged to have a lengthy conversation with the one and only, Joseph Cohen. He is a legend of online Hasbara (Israel advocacy), with 300k+ followers across social media platforms under the name 'Israel Advocacy Movement'. During our conversation, we discussed his unlikely origin story, Islam, Nick Fuentes and the state of British Jewry. I really enjoyed speaking with him and could've easily spoke to him for another 2 hours. Please check out his content if you haven't already - he's really proficient in what he does and you'll often learn something new.
