Monday, March 17, 5 pm, Simon Family JCC
Golda Meir is remembered for many accomplishments – from playing a pivotal role in the founding of the State of Israel to becoming its first, and only, female Prime Minister.
In Israel, her legacy now extends to a popular ice cream chain named in her honor.
In celebration of Golda Meir Day, a one-night-only Golda ice cream pop-up shop will take place at the Simon Family JCC. Enjoy delicious ice cream, play fun games, learn more about Golda’s remarkable story, and even snap a photo with ‘her!’
The free event requires advanced registration at JewishVA.org/Golda. For more information, contact Nofar Trem at NTrem@UJFT.org.
