Isaiah Breakfast Program with Comedian Steve Calechman
Sunday, January 7, 2018 • 20 Tevet 5778
9:15 AM - 11:00 AMWhat Makes Jewish Humor Funny?
Steve Calechman is a talented comedian, host, and speaker. Previously, Steve has emceed two Temple Isaiah events – an auction and a comedy night. At these events, Steve shared jokes and anecdotes. This time, Steve’s visit will be less about joke telling and more about discerning what is unique about Jewish humor.
Join us for a discussion of Jewish humor. Steve will tell some of his favorite Jewish jokes and then ask a few questions. What makes it funny? What makes it a Jewish joke? Is there any need for Jewish jokes anymore? And yes, you’ll get to ask questions as well. More than that, Steve wants you to tell your favorite Jewish joke, so come prepared. You’ll get to see how funny you think you are. You get to critique your friends. He’ll give you some feedback on your delivery, and, at the end, we’ll decide what the funniest Jewish joke of all time is. Or maybe we won’t. But we’ll have some laughs trying and at least we’ll have bagels.
Talks in this series are sponsored by Brotherhood, and include a delicious buffet breakfast of assorted bagels, smoked salmon, pickled herring, whitefish salad, tabbouleh, desserts and more. Breakfast begins at 9:15 a.m. The presentation runs from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and is usually followed by a question and answer session. Admission is $10; free to Brotherhood members.
