Laughter is the Best Medicine
2026-05-06 19:30 - 21:00
Now more than ever, we could all use some laughter which is why we are thrilled to welcome Comedian Neil Berger to our synagogue for an evening of humour, connection, and community. In challenging times, laughter has a way of bringing light into the room.

Neil is a stand-up comedian who has been performing for a variety of audiences for over 25 years. He has performed at numerous retirement and nursing homes and senior citizen centres throughout the GTA. Neil has performed at Yuk Yuk’s comedy club, community events, house parties, corporate events and was the featured comedian at the stage production of “Broadway Babies” at The Oakville Centre For The Performing Arts. Neil is a prolific comedy writer who wrote one-liners for Joan Rivers for many years. Neil is the founder of “The Joker’s Club” in Oakville where he entertains audiences with other comics in the local community on a regular basis. All his material is clean (no profanity) and is non-offensive. His comedic style is observational humour, making fun of life’s everyday moments. Neil is a wonderful storyteller always leaving his audience filled with much laughter.

We hope you will join us for a night to lift our spirits and share in the joy.

Join Cantor Steve, Rav Jen, and special guest, Emily Kogan – owner and Creative Director of Studio 28 Dance Corp. in Toronto, for a joyful song-and-dance-filled welcome to Shabbat!
Designed for children ages 2–5 (and their siblings, parents, and grandparents, too), this lively experience brings the spirit of Shabbat to life through movement, music, and connection.
Emily’s studio is recreationally focused, with a strong emphasis on body positivity and inclusivity at the heart of all their programming! Through fun, engaging activities that build gross-motor skills, their goal is to make every dancer feel like a superstar!
The evening will begin with a short, Shabbat-themed pre-service dance session with Emily, followed by a warm and engaging service filled with stories, singing, and movement. We’ll conclude with blessings over candles, juice, and challah — and, of course, pizza!
