Join the Boulder JCC, other local Jewish organizations, and your fellow Jewish community members this coming Monday afternoon for Yom Ha’atzmaut!
Monday, May 5, marks Israel’s Independence Day – a day in which we celebrate the Israeli Declaration of Independence of 1948. On that eventful day now 66 years ago, David Ben-Gurion declared “the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel.”
Similar to how America celebrates our Independence Day on the 4th of July with barbeques, drinking, and dancing, Yom Ha’atzmaut is marked with celebrations by Jews around the world! The Boulder JCC is excited to host Boulder’s Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration on Monday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 pm with sponsors HW Home, Jewish National Fund, Ron Werner, and Hazon.
A variety of cooking, art, and music will be available for the children of our community and their families. Plus, you can explore the variety of hummus restaurants in Boulder with Garbanzo, Falafel King, and the Med. Also enjoy samples of traditional Israeli food.
There will be a cooking program with Sticky Fingers for children ages 2-14, bracelet making, Sing-a-Long to Israeli songs with Leah Boonin, and Hebrew storytime with Osi Ziv.
See you Monday, May 5, 4:00 – 5:30 pm. The cost is $5 per individual/$20 per family
Falafel Dinner Included – feed your family while having a fun night of Israeli culture!
PRE-REGISTER HERE. For more information, contact Irene Skupsky, 303-998-1900 x103, irene@boulderjcc.org.
