Adam Gropman

A communal life

The comedian/writer tells Tales of a college summer spent on an Israeli kibbutz and a memorable year as a child in southern Spain.

Ever wonder what life on an Israeli kibbutz is like? Do you even know what the heck a kibbutz is?

This episode’s guest, comedian/writer Adam Gropman, describes the 4-1/2 months he spent in the Israeli desert as a 21-year-old laboring at what Woody Allen once described as “socialist summer camp.” Let’s just say his skill at fertilizing date palms is second-to-none.

Adam also spent a bit of his eclectic childhood in Franco-era Spain.

He knows how to spin a great Tale, and we were lucky to get Adam on the show. Shalom, Adam!
