Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Jewish holidays, rituals and traditions. During Friday’s festivities, attendees will learn more about the country of Israel. Special activity kits loaded with interactive crafts and projects that share Jewish traditions will also be handed out to the event’s youngest attendees.
During the event, music from Jewish artists will be broadcast to the car radios of attendees.
Since giving back is so important to the mission of Temple Israel, attendees are encouraged to bring an item or two donate to the House of Bread or St. Vincent de Paul.
Festivalgoers will also have the opportunity to win a special prize worth over $500 as a part of the Taste of the Jewish Cultural Festival’s raffle.
