Every year at Kol Nidre at CBST I watch literally thousands of people stream in for Erev Yom Kippur services and say to whoever is standing next to me “What a shame we can’t eat or socialize, cause this would be a great night to have a singles event after services!” Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Jews come out of the woodwork and pack the Jacob Javits center to start they’re annual day of repentance.

Well, along comes Jayson Littman and He’Bro to solve this little dilema. This year Jayson is putting on “High HomoHolidays: Pray. Repent. Party.” at Slate in Chelsea. This is an unusual event to have during the Days of Awe, but I suppose there is something to be said for bring all those Jews together connected to the holidays in some way. Personally, I think it’s great.

Jayson and his project He’Bro have a history of extremely successful events and his email list is the envy of organizations local to NY who want to get to the young LGBTQ Jewish crowd. (Every meeting I’ve had in which an event is planned and Jayson is in the room has someone asking if he would send something out to his list.)

Have you been to one of his events?
Do you have thoughts about this High HomoDays party?
