The gala Teaneck community-wide celebration of Israel’s founding will take place at the Jewish Center of Teaneck, 70 Sterling Place, on Yom Ha’atzmaut, Wednesday, April 18, at 7:15 pm. Please note the change of venue from the previous year.
The evening will open with Mincha, followed by a Yom Hazikaron presentation from an Israeli soldier, and Maariv chagigit. It will continue in the JCOT social hall, which will be transformed into a shuk Yisraeli replete with Israeli food, music and experiential activities focusing on Israeli culture, geography and history. The evening will conclude in the sanctuary with a musical performance of shirei Eretz Yisrael—classic Israeli folk songs.
This event will be suitable for all adults and for children from sixth grade and up.
