Bring your children to Israel for the day
…for FREE!
Message from the Chairs
We are very excited to be co-chairing New England Celebrates Israel during this special 60th anniversary year of the Jewish state. We invite you to bring your children for fun, food, camel rides, archaeological dig, arts & crafts, shopping, music and dancing. This free event is for anyone who ever wanted to travel to Israel, and for those of you who long to visit again!
