Comedy Night

Cedarhurst

Need a good laugh? Don’t settle for another boring Motzaei Shabbos. Chabad of the Five Towns Comedy night will feature the brilliant comedy of Joel Chasnoff. Joel’s comedy with a mix of personal anecdotes and keen observational humor, ere centered around the theme of the absurdity of modern American life.

Joel is not your grandfather’s Jewish comedian. With humor that’s clever, sharp, and never degrading, Joel’s comedy is a one hundred-eighty-degree turn from the Borscht Belt comics of old. Audiences across the spectrum, from U.S. Marines stationed at Okinawa to the Rebbes of Lubavitch Yeshivahs find Joel’s comedy smart, witty, and—most importantly—hilarious.

The night, which starts at 8 p.m. will also features delicious dairy pasta, salads and sushi bar. The chairpersons for the evening are Josh & Naomi Abehsera, Victor and Chana Braverman, Ranon and Rachel Bruckenstein, Adam and Sarit Kramer and Moti and Elke Probkevitz. There is a $30 admission fee and RSVP is appreciated. Please call 516-295-2478 or visit www.chabad5towns.com to reserve your spot. Chabad of The Five Towns is located at 74 Maple Avenue, Cedarhurst.
