Twelve24: Orlando's Jewish party of the year

The Roth Jewish Community Center of Greater Orlando is hosting Twelve24: Orlando’s Jewish Party of the Year on Tuesday, Dec. 24 at 9 p.m. at Elixir in downtown Orlando.  The event will provide an exciting option of something to do for young Jewish adults on a night when other establishments are typically closed.

“We are very excited to host this party,” said Robby Etzkin, assistant executive director at the Roth JCC.  “This is something for which the Orlando Jewish community has really shown a need.”

Instead of eating Chinese food and watching a movie on Christmas Eve, organizers encourage guests to spend the night dancing, socializing, and playing games in the bar with other Jewish young adults in Orlando at Twelve24.  The Roth JCC is excited to bring different forms of entertainment to the party by incorporating dancing, board games, and photo opportunities.

“I am definitely looking forward to joining the party at Twelve24 this year at Elixir,” said Brie Fox, a volunteer who is helping coordinate the event.  “It’s such an important need to host this kind of event where friends, old and new, can get together around the holiday time to meet, mingle, and catch up with each other on, an otherwise, slow night where most others are home with family.”

Fox compared this year’s Twelve24 party to the Challah-Day Party of the recent past Christmas eves.  “The party is always a blast, but the best part is being with other young Jewish adults and making connections.”

The cost to attend Twelve24 is $5 when paying in advance at http://www.orlandojcc.org, or $10 at the door.  Elixir is located at 9 W. Washington Street, Orlando.
