Despite what Kyle from South Park said, it’s pretty darn good to be a Jew on Christmas. With Hanukkah underway and multiple Christmas Eve bashes to choose from, get ready for a week-long Jewish singles’ bonanza. The Matzo Ball and its myriad competitors are derided by some for their meatmarket vibe, but whether you’re looking to bump into friends, find a mensch to take home for Passover, anxious to start a family, or just want to practice, there’s sure to be a scene for you.

While the place to be on Monday and Saturday night is clear, no less than three Christmas Eve parties vie for your attention on Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know and where you need to go to find that special someone this Hanukkah season.

Hanukkah Happy Hour on the Hill
If there’s one night to circle for every young Jewish professional in D.C., it very well may be the night Gesher City hosts their annual Hanukkah Happy Hour on the Hill. Every young Jew you’ve ever met or will meet will likely be packed somewhere within the three floors of the Pour House tonight. It’s the perfect place to bump into that cute girl you met at Shabbat services a few weeks back or avoid your ex-boyfriend like the plague. Why not both? The HHHH is co-sponsored by a laundry list of young Jewish organizations.
