Yom Ha’atzmaut Celebrated

More than 100 community members from across the area gathered to celebrate Israel’s 78th Independence Day at a festive and meaningful community event held at the JCC.

Attendees enjoyed a full Israeli experience featuring fresh, authentic cuisine, multiple food stations, children’s activities and games, music, dancing, and a warm, united community atmosphere.

“The event was a tremendous success and left a lasting impression on all who attended,” said Liron Daniel, Youngstown Area Jewish Federation Israel Engagement/Program Coordinator.

“And a special thanks to ZOA and Jewish National Fund for their generous contributions, which helped make the event possible, and to the wonderful volunteers from Akiva Academy and the broader community who led the activity stations and played an essential role in the success of the celebration.”
