JCC@333 Annual Gala
At JCC Greater Boston, we have created a thriving community where everyone is welcome to cultivate their own Jewish identity, and everyone is encouraged to create their own story.
Named eponymously for our address at 333 Nahanton Street, JCC Greater Boston’s fundraising gala, JCC@333, is where we celebrate our impact and look forward. We invite you to join us to get to know members of our community through their stories. Funds raised from this event directly support JCC Greater Boston’s Annual Fund.
JCC@333: An evening of Jewish Humor with B.J. Novak & the Novak Family
April 16, 2026 | 6–9pm
Mark your calendar and get excited 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.
As a thank you to our leading supporters, we will host an exclusive pre-reception meet and greet with B.J. Novak and the Novak family. More information about sponsorship levels will be shared soon.
We hope to see you there and look forward to celebrating resiliency through Jewish joy together.
More details about registration and sponsorship available January 2026. Please email jraizman@jccgb.org with any questions.
