Hanukkah is a time to celebrate our Jewish joy & ability to overcome the odds in trying times.

Hashem is a cruel & sometimes loving Mistress, as some of you know reading the Old Testament. Most of Judaism balances the dichotomy of the pain & pleasure of living. *That's why we thought we would celebrate Hanukkah with the thrill of pain & pleasure. *

Join us for the horniest Hanukkah party EVER!

• The Lighting of the Human Menorah
• The Dreidel of Delight & Dread (w/ homemade Gelt coins)
• Hanukkah Harry's Pink Elephant gift exchange (up to $25 gifts, sex-positive items encouraged)
• Freshly made Latkes & Rugelach by Lady V & Mistress Sierra (GF options available upon registration)
• Open play encouraged!

*Financial barriers preventing you from attending? PM @Lady_Vivus! *
