started by the Jewish community, led by
Nancy Fishman, in 1990. Rabbi Paul
Yedwab of Temple Israel, a founding board
member, came up with the name, and Hannan Lis was the former board chair.
Gaffigan is known around the world for his unique brand of humor, which largely
revolves around fatherhood and his observations on life and food. Comedy Night
takes place on Friday, June 7, at the Fox Theatre. Tickets range from $35 -$175 and
are available through the Fox Theatre box office or at forgottenharvest.org/
2019comedynight.
