Vodka & Latke

Step into Tribeca’s art scene for an evening that reimagines Hanukkah tradition. Vodka & Latke isn’t your typical holiday party—it’s where art, music, and purpose come together to celebrate light in all its forms.

The night unfolds inside a contemporary Tribeca gallery, alive with creativity and conversation. Sip signature vodka cocktails from the open bar, and savor kosher hors d’oeuvres, crisp latkes, and fresh sufganiyot. Lose yourself in live music by acclaimed singer Israel Portnoy, a dynamic DJ set, and acrobatic performance art that transforms the evening into a living canvas.

All proceeds benefit JOIN Lifeline, a program that provides emergency aid to thousands of at-risk elderly throughout Israel. JOIN Lifeline ensures that no one is left to face hardship or isolation alone. Every ticket sold helps restore dignity, comfort, and community to those who need it most.

Guests will also have the chance to take part in a Hanukkah & Judaica Auction, featuring beautifully curated pieces from generous donors.

Security will be on site. Address shared upon confirmation.
