On Sunday, April 26, families and community members gathered at Rosen JCC for Israel: North to South, a vibrant Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration that turned our campus into an immersive cultural journey.

Guests explored six unique regions of Israel: Tzfat, Galilee & Golan Heights, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Negev, and Eilat. Each station offered regional flavors and interactive activities for all ages, with a rock climbing wall, train rides, games, graham cracker decorating, and bracelet making rounding out the day.

The celebration was made possible by presenting sponsor The Pargh Foundation, with support from Origin Food Consulting and Lowndes, and in partnership with the Jewish National Fund, Southwest Orlando Jewish Congregation, Keshet, Southwest Jewish Seniors, JOIN, Shalom Orlando, PJ Library, and the Israeli-American Council.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.
