We heard you — our Hanukkah celebration, Vodka & Latke, is no longer just for Young Leadership. This year, everyone’s invited to join the fun!
Join us in a contemporary Tribeca gallery for an unforgettable night—signature vodka cocktails, kosher hors d’oeuvres and crisp latkes, live music by Israel Portnoy, a dynamic DJ set, and acrobatic performance art that turns the space into a living canvas.
All proceeds benefit JOIN Lifeline, a program that provides ongoing care and emergency aid to thousands of at-risk elderly throughout Israel. JOIN Lifeline ensures that no one is left to face hardship or isolation alone.
Board of Directors: Doug Cohen, Maurice Dayan, Natalie Eisen, Daniel Goldberg, Linda Greenblatt Gordon, Jeffrey Keswin, Jeffrey Kleinhaus, Anna Knoll, Daniel Nir, Lauren Rieder, Selig Sechzer, Adam Sussman, Bryan Weingarten, and Neil Wessan
Young Leadership Board: Rick Goodman, Yehudis Gottesfeld, Heath Hartman, Moti Iluz, Adam Koeppel, Haylie Lempert, Aryeh Rephun, Melissa Sussman, Zach Tanenbaum, and Liora Zaidner
