Welcome to the
Hamantaschen
Monologues

The Hamantaschen Monologues is the brain and heart-child of two dear friends, Rachel & Molly. The team is growing, bringing together some very passionate and talented souls to expand the Hamantaschen circle. Want to get involved?

We're going to fill you in on a lil secret: our favorite purim snack, the Hamantaschen, is not based on Haman’s ears or hat, but is actually historically associated with sex, sexuality, and bodies. That’s right, this WHOLE time when you were noshin' on ‘tashin you’ve been salivating over Judaism’s most sultry secret. While there are times when our 5,000-year-old tradition may be prudish, Purim most definitely is NOT then. It’s a time to masquerade, to unveil, to expose and give light to true selves and true stories. Enters... The Hamantaschen Monologues!

HamMons is a live storytelling event about personal relationships to Judaism, sex, bodies, and sexuality. Now in our fourth year, we've brought together over 25 storytellers and 400+ listeners to embrace the tenderness, messiness, humor, and authenticity that is the Hamantaschen Monologues. We hope you join us on March 31st live in Philadelphia and LA or virtually from anywhere.

 

This event is a 21+ space and open to speakers and listeners of all backgrounds, affiliations, gender identities, sexual orientations, bodies, and relationships to Judaism.

What Our Listeners Said

"I loved how raw and honest these stories were. The connection between sexuality and Judaism was a great idea. You guys did an incredible job. Thank you for bringing us all together virtually."
