This Month's Topic: Lighten Up! The Third Annual Philosophy of Humor Chanukah Edition

This month the Philosophy Minyan presents our third annual Chanukah edition of Lighten Up! The Philosophy of Humor. Have some laughs with your latkes as we explore the always entertaining world of Jewish humor.  Join us as we find the funny together, even in the midst of these difficult times. Bring your favorite joke to share. Advance submissions are welcome by email to Shelley. As the Talmud says, "By three things may a person's character be determined: By their drinking and spending habits, and by their anger. Some say: Also by their laughter." Don't miss this chance to develop your character. We can all benefit from more laughter in our lives.

All are welcome to join in an interactive and thought-provoking exploration of topics at the intersection of philosophy, Jewish thought and contemporary issues. No advance reading is required and participants will receive online access to all the class materials following each session.

The human condition presents everyone with moral choices, ethical dilemmas and profound questions. In this discussion-oriented class, we share laughs as well as perspectives from centuries of philosophical, Jewish and other current sources.

Fall topics include:

• Kaddish & Creativity
• The Mind-Body Problem
• Ethics & Incarceration
• Lighten Up for Chanukah! Philosophy of Jewish Humor

Be sure to check the Beth Am calendar for future class descriptions and any schedule changes, as well as to register for individual sessions.
