Kaplen JCC launches Next Up event series with celebrity chefs
The Kaplen JCC on the Palisades in Tenafly will launch Next Up, a new event series spotlighting renowned speakers, performers, and cultural influencers, on Wednesday, September 10, at 7 p.m. with culinary creators and NYC restaurateurs Ben and Zikki Siman-Tov.
The series’ lineup will elevate the JCC’s cultural offerings by offering must-see experiences that bring intellect, entertainment, and inspiration to the JCC stage.
Next Up’s evening events will feature celebrity guests, acclaimed musicians and comedians, political thought leaders, and more. Each program will offer a unique experience, perfect for a night out with friends, a date night, or a chance to connect with others over shared passions.
“We’re thrilled to launch Next Up and bring this level of talent and energy to our community,” said Judi Nahary, chief program officer at the Kaplen JCC. “Our goal is to create unforgettable experiences that you’d normally have to go into the city for, but now, they’re happening right here at the J.”
The September 10 program, “Next Up: Eat Small Plates — An Evening to Savor” will feature Ben and Zikki Siman-Tov (of @bengingi and Buba Bureka) as they celebrate the launch of their debut cookbook, “Eat Small Plates.” Guests will enjoy a live cooking demo, behind-the-scenes stories, and a Q&A session. They will also take home a signed copy of the book along with a limited-edition JCC-branded apron (while supplies last). Tickets are available at jccotp.org/event/eat-small-plates.
“Next Up: Super Diamond — The Neil Diamond Tribute” will be performed live on Thursday, October 23, at 7:30 p.m. Get tickets at jccotp.org/event/super-diamond.
