Spin me right ‘round

The Matzah Ball 2024

By Michael Rubenstein, Matzah Ball Chair

You spin me right ’round baby right round, like a dreidel baby ’round ’round right ’round. Chanukah is quickly approaching, and that means the 2024 Matzah Ball is almost here! Put on your dancing shoes and best ’80s dance party/holiday attire, and join us for the most gnarly, rad and totally tubular party of the year — the 3rd Annual Jewish Federation of Greater Naples Matzah Ball!

The Matzah Ball is an annual party to bring people together. It is for those who are ages 55 and under, who are Jewish singles, couples or anyone else who supports Judaism and the Jewish faith. This year, the Matzah Ball will take place on

Dec. 7, beginning at 7 p.m. at Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. Attendees will eat, drink and dance the night away surrounded by friends and '80s décor. This year’s Matzah Ball will feature food from Sage Events & Catering and music by the one and only DJ Unek.

Tickets are now live and available! Tickets are on sale for $150 per person; however, we offer an “early bird special!” If you buy your tickets on or before Oct. 31, the price is $125 per person!
