Spring 2022
Standing Up For Mental Health
Event as part of the Reva Stocker Lecture Series, chaired by Diane & Bill Goldstein and Julie & Jason Page on May 12, 2022.
One of only a handful of comedians to perform on every single late-night talk show, Gary offers candid reflections on his struggles with depression in his HBO comedy special, The Great Depresh, executive produced by Judd Apatow. With humor, vulnerability and honesty as his weapons, Gary not only destigmatizes mental illness, but methodically lays out the symptoms he suffered and care he received, normalizing mental health treatments and offering hope.
Come join us at Temple Israel’s outdoor pavilion as Gary takes to the stage and delivers an evening of his signature confessional storytelling, guaranteed to make you laugh. Your support will help Jewish Family Service continue to provide services for older adults, mental health and wellness, and safety net assistance. Mental health services include counseling, suicide prevention trainings and the We Need To Talk community initiative. These mental health services have always been a key service provided by JFS and, with the continuing impact of the pandemic, have never been more critical.
This nationally renowned talent will be performing at Jewish Family Service’s Spotlight
