Sherry Vine:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n“Josh Rosensweig<\/strong><\/a> (Sherry’s partner at gaySVTVworld) and I have been talking about doing a Hanukkah celebration for years. Christmas has always been strongly represented in drag, but to my knowledge, no other drag queen has ever done a huge Hanukkah event like this. After putting the week\u2019s \u2018Oy To The World\u2019 programming together, I see why. It\u2019s a lot of work! Christmas is just one day. Hanukkah is eight!\u00a0I\u2019m only half Jewish, so I learned a lot by preparing for the week, including the history and story behind Hanukkah and the job of the Mohel who is trained in the practice of brit milah, the covenant of circumcision. It was all eye-opening and maybe a bit leg-crossing and crotch-holding too!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
