A vibrant group of Israeli teens who bring the spirit of Israel to life through music, dance, and storytelling, the Tzofim Friendship Caravan returns to Tidewater for a community concert next month.

The Tzofim Friendship Caravan’s performances are joyful celebrations of Israeli culture, unity, and the enduring connection between Israel and Tidewater’s Jewish community. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Israeli Scouts presenting excitement, energy, and friendship to communities across North America.
Looking to enhance the experience? Become a host family! United Jewish Federation of Tidewater seeks local individuals or families to host the scouts for two nights during their stay. This is an unforgettable opportunity to share in their journey and gain deeper insight into life in Israel.

This event is part of the Jewish Community Relations Council of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Simon Family JCC, and Community Partners’ 15th Annual Israel Today series.
