Extra special experiences this year:

Project Mezuzah: we have contacted and ordered 60 Mezuzahs from artists in Israel. This project was put together to strengthen Jewish identity and connection to Israel and Jewish Pride. We will be selling the Mezuzahs at the event. All proceeds will go to Jewish for Good’s Kibbutz Nir Oz community campaign.

Register before May 14 to enter to win a raffle to win a mezuzah by an Israeli artist!

Tikva Tent: This initiative is lead by Israeli and American community members. Children must enter with adult supervision. Walk through our tent to learn more about and visually experience the last 6 months in Israel through four different lenses:

  • The day of October 7th

  • Operation Swords of Iron and the soldiers

  • The hostages

  • The people of Israel in strength, togetherness, unity and community initiatives.

When: Sunday, May 19 from 2-5pm
