Israeli Festival at the
Weinstein JCC
Come and enjoy, “Everything Israel” at the
Weinstein JCC! Experience Israeli food, culture,
history, and entertainment, without getting on
an airplane. This exciting event offers something
for everyone. Try some Israeli cuisine, take a ride
on a camel and enjoy a special performance by
the Israeli Friendship Caravan. The Caravan is
made up of 10 high school-aged students who
travel throughout the United States performing
Israeli songs and dances. While in Richmond,
the Israeli Scouts stay in homes with members
of our community. If you are interested in
hosting an Israeli Scout this year, please contact
Jennifer Adams at 545- 8659 or jadams@
weinsteinjcc.org for more information.
The Israeli Scouts Friendship Caravan is brought
to the Richmond Jewish Community each
year through the support of the Eddie Lapkin
Israeli Scouts Fund through Richmond Jewish
Foundation, the Weinstein JCC and individual
and corporate donations. If you are interested
in supporting the Israeli Scouts Caravan, please
contact Margret O’Keefe, Development Director,
at 545-8609 or [email protected]. More
information about the Israeli Festival will be
released in early 2019.
