Jews are known for having a unique sense of humor. The very first joke in the Torah—Isaac’s birth—offers an opportunity to discover how humor can shape our lives. During this free session through Hebrew College and open to all, we will explore the belief that tradition paired with humor can offer opportunities for spiritual and religious growth.

Free and open to the public. Register here.

In this 5-session class, we will explore what makes things funny and what funny things make happen in the world (upper and lower!).
