35th Year Free High Holiday Services Announced At The Laugh Factory  The Laugh Factory, Los Angeles's premiere comedy club, ushers in the Jewish New Year with a joyous gift to the Jewish community - High Holiday services at no charge. This will be the 35th 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 to provide so many actors, writers, comedians, and the entire Hollywood community who are away from their families, with a place to pray for the Holidays. So many people cannot afford the high cost of tickets that most temples charge in order to attend services. At the Laugh Factory Synagogue, all are welcome to come and pray."

Services are conducted in the Reform Jewish tradition by Rabbi Bob Jacobs, and as Cantor, Robin Winston. Rosh Hashanah will be celebrated on: Monday, September 10, 2018 11:00 am until 1:00 pm with refreshments to follow.Yom Kippur will begin with the Kol Nidre service on: Tuesday, September 18, 2018 5:00 pm to 6:30pm

Services will continue on the morning of: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 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.
Attendees/congregants are requested to come early in order to be accommodated indoors.
