CHRISTMAS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA? TRY THE MATZO BALL
Being Jewish on Christmas - that's the theme of several activities planned for Dec. 24-25 in Philadelphia.
Christmas Eve will be a night of singles-oriented danc[ing]. The Matzo Ball will be at 8 p.m. at The Eighth Floor, a club on Delaware Avenue. It is sponsored by the Society of Young Jewish Professionals, which has also scheduled balls in New York, Boston, Washington, Miami and Boca Raton, Fla.
Founder Andrew Rudnick said he got the idea for the ball a dozen years ago as he was sitting at home on Christmas Eve, eating Chinese takeout and watching It's a Wonderful Life on TV for the zillionth time. Nothing's open; there's nowhere to go. . . .
The Matzo Ball will feature a live DJ, top-of-the-charts music, hors d'oeuvres and door prizes. Tickets: $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Phone: 1-888-633-5326; Web site http://www.syjp.com
