July's DPHH Location

Because this year's 4th of July is on a Saturday, Zavier and I will host July's DPHH on Friday July 10th to allow folks who may be going out of town to celebrate America's birthday, not to miss July's DPHH :-]

*a gentle reminder that sometimes when we have DPHH at various locations with more than 1 floor, do check all the floors in case when you enter we are not immediately visible.

Sincerely,
Jenny & Zavier!

Time Out Article

Hey Folks

I stumbled across an article that mentions our NYC DPHH! @ Time Out Magazine. Check it out! (Its not just about us, but the NYC Deaf-based entertainment options). The illustrations are awesome, by a woman name Ana Benaroya.

JDPHH's Cheese & Wine 6/28 Change of Location

Jewish Deaf Professional Happy Hour

Please take a moment to welcome a new addition to NYC DPHH scene called Jewish Deaf Professional Happy Hour (JDPHH). So what is JDPHH all about? Read below;

JDPHH- Jewish Deaf Professional Happy Hour is for people that cannot come to NYC DPHH Events because it's usually on Friday evenings and that night our Holy Shabbath. So we created JDPHH for people who can come on Sunday evenings instead of Friday nights.

We thought Wine and Cheese is a nice way to get together with other Jewish Deaf and Hard of Hearing people your age. Married and singles Jews are welcome. There will be light refreshments available, plus plenty of games and socializing. Dinner can be ordered. $15.00 cover. It's Glatt Kosher under supervison of OU.

Date: Sunday, June 28, 2009
Time: 5:00pm - 9:00pm

Special thanks to Moshe Lehmann for sending me the info :-]

From the NYC DPHH peeps (Zavier & I-General Jen), want to add that we intend to start having DPHH nights alternate between Fridays and Saturdays each month this coming Fall 2009!

Remember "No Deaf Jews or Gentiles left behind!!!"

June's Photos!

Thanks to everyone who braved out the rain and came out for June's DPHH! It was a packed house! And I want to take a moment to thank Andrew Washington for volunteering to help take photos along with me ("General Jen") and Zavier.

NYC DPHH Hostess-Jennifer Perlis, Host-Zavier Sabio

So you may be wondering? Who are the official hosts of DPHH now? Why its me (Jennifer Perlis) and Zavier Sabio!!! Welcome aboard Zavier! As you can see in the photos above, Zavier is deAfinitely a social butterfly. In addition to our NYC DPHH team, we have several volunteer photographers, Ashraf ul Hossain, his work can be viewed here; and Steve Martinez, his work can be viewed here; and when they can't make it, Zavier & I will snap the dphh photos :-)

Also this Fall, Zavier and I plan to experiment with hosting DPHH on Saturdays as well as Fridays. We hope to post the Fall line up in late August so you can plan accordingly for the upcoming Fall/Winter holidays.

July's DPHH will be announced early next week and again thank you all for making June's DPHH a big success!!!
