34th Year Free High Holy Days Services Laugh Factory Announced
By: A.A. Cristi Sep. 15, 2017
The Laugh Factory, Los Angeles's premiere Comedy Club, ushers in the Jewish New Year with its joyous gift to the Jewish community - free High Holy days services. This will be the 33rd year the Laugh Factory will open its doors to the Jewish community for the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Jamie Masada, owner of the Laugh Factory said, "Two of the main reasons I love doing this is it gives so many actors, writers, comedians, and the entire Hollywood community who are away from their families a place to pray for the holidays. And, with the economic crisis this country has been experiencing now for over a decade, so many people cannot afford the high cost of tickets that most temples charge in order to attend services. At the Laugh Factory Temple, all are welcome to come and pray."
Services are conducted in the Reform Jewish tradition by Rabbi Bob Jacobs.
Rosh Hashanah will be celebrated on: Thursday, September 21st, 2017, 11:00 am until 1:00 pm with refreshments to follow. Yom Kippur will begin with the Kol Nidre service on: Friday, September 29th, 2017, 5:00 pm to 6:30pm. Services will continue on the morning of: Saturday, September 30, 2016, 11:00 am until 1:00 pm. Concluding with Neilah service from 5:30 pm until 6:15 pm.
A "break-the-fast" will follow. No contributions are accepted and tickets are not required.
Observers are requested to come early in order to be accommodated indoors.
The Laugh Factory is located at 8001 Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, two blocks west of Fairfax. Limited parking is available around the corner in the Laugh Factory parking lot on Laurel Place. Street parking is available on Laurel Avenue between Sunset and Selma; Selma between Hayworth and Laurel Canyon Blvd; and Laurel Canyon Blvd between Selma and Sunset.
