Israeli Independence Day Havurah CABI The Day of the Fallen Soldier Yom Ha'atzmaut/Yom Hazikaron May 7—6:00 p.m. Come one, come all for a most important gathering. The state of Israel was born 60 years ago and all of us should gather together to honor the Israel Defense Forces, followed by many activities to celebrate the birth and continued life of the state of Israel. Music, dancing, lots of arts and crafts, Israeli food and of course the bonkers! It is a tradition in Israel to have squeaky plastic hammers to hit each other on the head. The hammers should be arriving any day and will be on display at CABI. All of this will be free but there will be donations requested to cover the food costs. A giant Israeli cake will be provided by Moshit, who will be returning from Israel in time for our special evening. Please be prompt for the opening ceremony when all of us will recognize those in our community who served in the Israeli military. Soul Train, who helped out last year at Israel Day will be here to provide all types of activities for all age groups. We are fortunate to have these people who come from Israel to Boise to help us celebrate. A special thank you to our sponsors: Skip and Esther Oppenheimer, Ted and Shirley Century, Richard and Bea Kopp, Jerry and Susi Cagen, and Gail LeBow. We can always use help, so if you served in the Israeli military, wish to help us with the celebration, or wish more information, please e-mail me Harriet Badesheim
