Event Details

Description

Honor the resilience and beauty of Israel through the themes of joy (simcha), community (kehilla), and earth (adamah).

Enjoy live Israeli music and festive Israeli dancing. Explore interactive stations, including creating your own sparkling drink (gazoz), designing flower crowns, and experiencing the flavors of Israel through fresh herbs and spices.

Children can enjoy face painting, a PJ Library® craft, and an "I Spy" adventure around the building. Teens will have their own hangout space with games and activities, while adults can take part in wine tasting, a leather workshop, and a short film screening.

Stroll through our marketplace (shuk) featuring Israeli goods, grab a bite from food vendors, and connect with community organizations making an impact across Jewish Cleveland.

Come celebrate Israel’s independence with community, creativity, and spirit (ruach). We hope to see you there!
