Erev Yom HaAtzmaut—An Evening of Song to mark Israel’s Independence Day

Monday, May 13 | 7:30PM at PSJC

We will sit and sip Israeli wine, taste some good food and join together in song with Israeli musician Yonatan so that we can be together and reflect on the last 76 years since the State of Israel came into existence.  Thank you to JAFI and UJA for helping to support this evening.
