Israel Independence Day Celebration 🎉

Join us on April 26th, 2026, from 12:30–4:00 PM as our community comes together to celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut, marking 78 years of Israel's independence.

And we're very excited to share that the reigning MISS ISRAEL, the wonderful Melanie Shiraz, will be joining us for this special celebration, adding even more energy and pride to an already meaningful day.

We invite everyone to gather to show solidarity, celebrate Israeli culture, and reflect on all there is to be proud of, especially our community and connection.

Many Thanks to Stephanie & Dan Prescott & Family for their generous support! 💙
