Vodka & Latke 2025

Vodka & Latke transformed Tribeca’s art scene into a reimagined Hanukkah celebration, where art, music, and purpose came together to honor light in all its forms — all while raising vital funds for JOIN Lifeline. Guests gathered inside Myria Gallery, a contemporary Tribeca space that buzzed with creativity and conversation throughout the night.

Signature vodka cocktails flowed from the open bar, accompanied by crisp latkes, and fresh sufganiyot. The atmosphere came alive with a captivating live performance by acclaimed singer Israel Portnoy and acrobatic performance art that turned the evening into a living, immersive canvas.

It was a night where tradition met modern expression — and where community, artistry, and generosity seamlessly intertwined in support of JOIN Lifeline's mission.
