From Darkness to Light: Yom HaAtzmaut Celebrations
Thursday, May 1, 2025 • 3 Iyyar 5785
6:00 PM - 8:00 PMJoin us for a community celebration of Yom HaAtzmaut as we mark Israel’s independence and reflect on its journey, משואה לתקומה (“From Tragedy to Rebirth”). Together, we’ll enjoy lively Israeli dancing, delicious Israeli foods, and participate in a collaborative art project to create a mural of hope and unity. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Israel’s 77th anniversary, connect with others, and share a fun, meaningful evening with the whole community.
