Sunday, May 4, 12 – 3 pm, Sandler Family Campus
Jewish Tidewater is making plans to celebrate Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s 77th Independence Day, with another vibrant and family-friendly afternoon filled with fun, culture, and community spirit.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore Israeli heritage through interactive activities, music, art, food, and history. Children and families will be able to engage in experiences led by Camp JCC, Tidewater ShinShinim, PJ Library, and local synagogues, as well as get their faces painted, bounce on inflatables, and play carnival games.
In addition, this year’s celebration will emphasize rebuilding and supporting Israel by featuring art and products by Israeli artists. Guests will have the chance to purchase works that showcase Israel’s resilience, creativity, and culture. Support for these artists contributes to sustaining and uplifting Israeli craftsmanship and entrepreneurship.
From the sounds of Israeli music to the flavors of traditional cuisine, guests will be immersed in the sights, tastes, and traditions of the Jewish state. Whether looking to deepen one’s connection to Israeli culture or simply enjoy a festive afternoon with family and friends, Yom Ha’Atmaut is the perfect place to celebrate.
Admission is free and open to the entire community. Tickets for food and select activities may be pre-purchased online or at the event.
