WELCOME TO THE HAMANTASCHEN MONOLOGUES.

We’re back for our fourth annual Hamantaschen Monologues! That’s right on March 31st, we’re back for another incredible night of storytelling about how our relationships to sex, sexuality, and bodies are informed and misinformed by Judaism.

Wait, what’s the Hamantaschen Monologues?

We’re going to fill you in on a lil secret: our favorite purim snack, the Hamantaschen, is not based on Haman’s ears or hat, but is actually historically associated with sex, sexuality, and bodies. That’s right, this WHOLE time when you were noshin’ on ‘tashin you’ve been salivating over Judaism’s most sultry secret. (Don’t take our word for it, ask HeyAlma!) While there are times when our 5,000-year-old tradition may be prudish, Purim most definitely is NOT then. It’s a time to masquerade, to unveil, to expose and give light to true selves and true stories.

Enters… The Hamantaschen Monologues! HamMons is live storytelling event about personal relationships to Judaism, sex, bodies, and sexuality. Now in our fourth year, we’ve brought together over 25 storytellers and 400+ listeners to embrace the tenderness, messiness, humor, and authenticity that is the Hamantaschen Monologues. We hope you join us.

This event is a 21+ space and open to speakers and listeners of all backgrounds, affiliations, gender identities, sexual orientations, bodies, and relationships to Judaism.

This year, in partnership with Tribe 12, we’re coming to you live from Philadelphia!

Partnering with Tribe 12, IKAR Tribe, JQ International, and the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, we’ll be coming to you LIVE from our main in-person event from Philadelphia, at our live Watch Party in LA, and virtually from anywhere across the country.
