These are services in the Conservative/Reform tradition and welcome hundreds of congregants each year for Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur morning services (11AM), Kol Nidre and Neilah(see below). Additionally they are streamed live on the Laugh Factory website / Youtube with prayerbooks downloadable and streamed with the service.
Rabbi Bob Jacobs has led them for years with cantorial soloist, Robin Winston. If you're in LA and have no idea where to go...
A review by Melissa Weller said this: "For those worrying about the future of American Judaism, maybe places like the Laugh Factory offer a little hope. I was drawn to it after a fellow transplant and I had been lamenting a similar sense of Jewry duty toward the approaching Days of Awe. We knew the jig was up, it was time to get our tucheses to temple, and the Laugh Factory seemed a welcoming, unaffiliated place to start...
"The place was mobbed that morning, the line snaking up the block from Sunset Boulevard to Selma Avenue and around the corner...
"The liberal-progressive service — basic, relaxed — was filled with call-and-response. Many got index cards at the door — Card Reader No. 1, Card Reader No. 10 — they took their turns reading aloud to the congregation. (I, apparently, didn’t make the cut.)"
Rosh Hashanah in 2025 will begin sundown on Sep 22 and end at nightfall on Sept 24. Yom Kippur in 2025 will begin at sundown on Oct 1 and end at nightfall on Oct 2.
...So 11AM, Sep 23 Rosh Hashanah and Oct 2, Yom Kippur mornings... show up 20 minutes early to be sure of a seat! Kol Nidre on Wed, Oct 1 ...6PM! Neilah on Thu, Oct 2, 6PM
