JCC@333: An Evening of Jewish Humor with B.J. Novak & the Novak Family

April 16, 2026 | 6–9pm

Event Co-Chairs:

Hillary and Andy Mann
Maryanne and Josh Weiss

Honorary Committee:

Boston Jewish Film Board

Join us for an evening of meaningful, thought-provoking conversation, and laugh-out-loud moments celebrating a family legacy of humor that continues to lift us up in challenging times and inspire younger generations. 

For more than four decades, The Big Book of Jewish Humor, by William Novak and Moshe Waldoks, has been a fixture in Jewish households, bringing families together across generations through laughter and shared values. Now, Bill and his son, B.J. Novak (renowned writer, actor, and producer of the hit series The Office, among other achievements), along with younger brother, Hebrew school teacher and writer Lev Novak, reflect on the history of this special tradition, how their family's sense of humor has evolved, and why exercising humor in everyday life is more important now than ever.

We hope to see you there and look forward to celebrating resiliency through Jewish joy together.
