Joliet Jewish Congregation

Experience a unique celebration of Jewish culture with nationally-known comedian Brett "Baruch Meir" Walkow in “The Baruch Meir Bar Mitzvah Show”. Join Brett on a heartwarming and hilarious journey from boyhood to manhood, as he weaves a tapestry of stories that capture the essence of Jewish life. Through a unique blend of humor, storytelling, and interactive segments, each performance is a journey through the joys, quirks, and profound moments that make up the Jewish experience. 

 

Step into Brett's world as he takes you on a delightful journey, from wearing mismatched hand-me-downs at lavish Beverly Hills Bar Mitzvahs, to going on a trek for the last piece of Kosher food in Medford, Oregon, to breaking barriers as he performs a show for antisemites terrified… only to win one over in a very special story. Brett’s performances are more than just comedy shows that will leave you in stitches; they are gatherings that celebrate shared heritage and common experiences, making every audience member feel like part of a larger family.
