OUR THREE PILLAR PROGRAMS TO HEAL COMMUNITY WITH LAUGHTER
SHIMON HATZADIK SAID (PIRKEI AVOTH) “THE WORLD STANDS ON THREE THINGS: on TORAH, on SERVICE, AND on ACTS OF KINDNESS”
We are here to help the world continue to stand, through humor.
JHF supports comedy shows in Israel and around the world, including the Comedy Caravan Project. The Comedy Caravan, where Jewish comedy is brought to Jewish communities around the world. Connecting Jews to their people and culture, all while bringing a meaningful experience through laughter.
The Maggids of Humor travels in service of their people. ·Avodah (Prayer and Coming Together as Community): We bring people together in holiness with humor. JHF, based in Rochester (NY), and Jerusalem, is a place for communal gathering and laughing that will support Jewish comedy productions in Israel and the Golah (Diaspora). |
The Jewish Humor Magazine that helps Jews connect and bond through laughter. The Kibbitzer connects with the rich history of Jewish humor, all while developing new humor, and adding to the annals of Jewish laughter.
Along with the weekly articles, educational pieces, artful works, and Shabbat printouts, the online magazine also deals with humor and perspective with illness.

Health and Healing includes the Health and Healing section in the Kibbitzer Magazine, performances for people in nursing facilities and those who are homebound, and written shows of Jewish humor that can be performed in other areas. We also advocate for communal connection with our Avot and Imahot.
·Gemilut Chasadim (Acts of Kindness): There is no greater act of kindness than sharing a laugh. And nothing connects and comforts people more than sharing a laugh, and knowing others are laughing with them as well. JHF heals with humor. From good times to hard times, we share laughs about it all. JHF provides Jewish performances and publications for Seniors, those who are homebound and anyone who needs healing through laughter. |
In addition to the Three Pillar Programs of JHF, education through Jewish humor, podcasts, radio shows, and other forms of media and Jewish humor building will also be in development. Ask The Honest Rabbi – Jewish advice show, the Jewish Comedy Festival in Israel and America, and much more are programs that JHF plans to support. With your support, we will also work to be the global clearinghouse and archive for all things Jewish Humor Centered.
