12:00 PM - 1:30 PMZoom VideoconferenceIf you could use a laugh — and let’s face it, who couldn’t? — don’t miss the annual Chanukah edition of the Philosophy Minyan. We’ll share jokes and explore the timeless world of Jewish humor, from old favorites to contemporary takes on 2024 that are sure to become classics. All are welcome to enjoy chai-lights and low-lights as a reminder that laughter is indeed the best medicine and a double-dose can be good therapy.
Submittals in advance are welcome! Email shelley.s.hebert@gmail.com, or come ready to tell a joke during open mic.
The Philosophy Minyan is a monthly lunchtime series on Zoom. All are welcome to join in an interactive and thought-provoking exploration of topics at the intersection of philosophy, Jewish thought and contemporary issues. No advance reading is required and participants will receive online access to all the class materials following each session.
Be sure to check the Beth Am calendar for future class descriptions and any schedule changes, as well as to register for individual sessions.
