Celebrating Israel at Beth Or!

I know that many of you have experienced the excitement of touring Israel first hand, brought back wonderful memories and a new love and devotion to our Jewish homeland. This spring, Jews from around the world will commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Israel's independence. This is the perfect time to rekindle that love for Israel by participating in many events that are happening at our synagogue and in the Philadelphia area.

On May 4th, Beth Or will host Dig the Past, an archealogoical dig and Israeli street fair, complete with Israeli dancing with RAK-DAN, food and fun. For more information and to register for a time slot to dig, click here. Space is limited for the Sunday afternoon dig, so registration is a must!

On May 18th, Celebrate Israel's 60th with a huge celebration on Eakins Oval in Philadelphia. Buses willl leave from Beth Or at 10:30 am and bring you down to all of the festivities. To save a seat on the bus for your family, contact me in the office. We are also looking for people to parade behind the Beth Or banner on this day. Please let me know if you are interested in participating.

Finally, a professionally directed musical tribute to Israel will take place at Beth Or. A State Is Born will be performed on May 31st and June 1st. Tickets are on sale in the Beth Or office.
