Because laughter is the best medicine!
Join SVIVAH for a fun night out learning to do Improv and together we’ll experiment with making each other laugh!
SVIVAH is so excited to be working with the fabulously and hilariously talented Karin Naor!

Be bold, be brave, be hilarious with us at Healthy Hilarity: Improv Night --- we won't make you get up on stage if you don't want to, but we know we'll have you laughing no matter what!
Performing is not mandatory, but we look forward to everyone contributing creatively!

Some more info about Improv Night:
1) This event is for anyone who wants to be included in a circle of Jewish women. So if you identify as either of those, (Jew-ish, too!) you belong in this room and gladly.
2) The event is from 7:30-9:45PM with intentional flexibility! We know some of you are still rushing home from work. Others are putting kids to bed. And others have an early wakeup in the morning. Come when you can; stay till you can't.
3) Yes, Sharsheret and JScreen will be there and we are so glad! This event is NOT just for survivors or focused on health/wellness -- This is just part of how Svivah works! We bring in the agencies and people who work hard at creating a stronger #Jewishwomanhood and we weave them into our #powerfulcommunityofwomen. We should know them, and they should know us!
4) You won't have to take the mic unless you want to! You can sit back and enjoy the show, or you can flex you comic muscles if you feel like taking the stage.
5) ZERO prior comic or improv experience is necessary OR expected!
6) Our improv teacher Karin Naor is AMAZING. Her comic pedigree is out of this world and we are SO lucky to have her! She is going to lead us through an improv "class"/group performance.... but you determine if you want to volunteer to be at the front of the room. You can come and be an audience member OR a performer. Or both!
7) Svivah chose to do improv because comedy -- particularly laughing about our lives -- has the ability to create connections between people. And that's what SVIVAH is all about. This night is going to be SO FUN, plus it's a chance to get to know new people in a new way!
8) We've got a GREAT crowd already -- so snag your seats. We can't wait to laugh with you!!
