About Israel in the Gardens 
Hebrew
For
over 30 years, the San Francisco Jewish community has celebrated Israel's Independence
Day. This day expresses our connection with Israel, our solidarity with its people,
and the central role Israel plays in our Jewish identity. It is also a wonderful
opportunity to come together as a community and showcase our achievements.
This
event, which takes place this year on Sunday June 5, 2005 in San Francisco, attracts
attendees from all over the Bay Area, including the North Bay, East Bay, Peninsula,
San Jose, and Sacramento areas. This is a day that attracts long-time Jewish Bay
Area residents as well as newer arrivals from Israel, the former Soviet Union,
and other countries. It is a day for people of all ages - adults, children, teens,
college students, young adults and seniors. In recent years this event has become
the single largest annual gathering of Jews in the Bay Area, last year attracting
5,000 families and approximately 13,000 people.
This
year, Israel in the Gardens will return to Yerba Buena Gardens in the heart
of San Francisco, near the convention center, the Metreon, Zeum, SFMOMA and Union
Square.
The key to the success of the day is the maximum participation of
members of the community, local Jewish organizations and synagogues.
