A spectacular party for Israel! More than 2,500 community members joined together to celebrate Israel's 68th birthday in style.
Party goers of all ages had a blast at our largest annual community event: Israeli dancing, delicious kosher foods, arts and crafts for little ones, shopping at the shuk (Israeli marketplace), and more!

The highlight of the night had to be the concert featuring Israeli superstar Rita, who performed all of her favorite hits for a packed house. It was amazing to see our community come together as one to celebrate our love for Israel!
