“Last year’s Comedy Night, what a great evening of friends, food and funny,” said the Temple’s Jill Schwartz. “Our evening started off with the band playing some great music from the 70’s, and enjoying sangria and snacks. Then we entered the ballroom, everyone ready for a night filled with laughter and tears…tears from laughing so much.

“There were three sets, three different comedians, all with slightly different styles, but each very funny,” Schwartz added. “I thoroughly enjoyed the show, laughing until my sides hurt. The evening ended with us chatting with old and new friends during dessert and coffee. We’re so looking forward to this year’s Comedy Night at Temple Chaverim.”
