 Hadassah Gross invite you to a, “Throw-Your-Shoes-at-Madoff-Competition Lighting of the Fourth Chanukah Candle and other Delightful Rituals at City Winery!”
Christmas Eve is a busy night for NYC Jews. The mad dash between Chinese restaurants and movie theaters can be grueling. We offer Midnight Mess as an alternative. This pre-opening event is hosted by Rebetzin Hadassah Gross, the ageless widow of six Hasidic Rabbis and a personal soul trainer to the ultra-orthodox elite. She will be your guide to a night brimming with comedy, storytelling, music, and yes, you guessed it, wine. Laugh with Todd Barry and Jackie Hoffman. Stamp your feet to Leah Siegel, DJ Balagan and Anthony Coleman joined by Frank London performing Sephardic Songs. Cap off the perfect night with Sephardic remixes, courtesy of Diwon.
