| About Israel in the Gardens
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 3,
2007 in San Francisco, attracts attendees from all over the
Bay Area, including the North Bay, East Bay, Peninsula, San
Jose, and Sacramento areas. This day brings together long-time
Jewish Bay Area residents as well as newer arrivals from Israel,
the former Soviet Union, and other countries. There are events 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 more than 15,000 people.
This year, Israel in the Gardens will return once again to
Yerba Buena Gardens in the heart of San Francisco, near the
convention center, the Metreon, Zeum, SFMOMA and Union Square.
What makes Israel in the Gardens a success is your participation and the presence of our local Jewish organizations and
synagogues.
A very special Thank You to the Friends of the Israel in the Gardens.
In continuing our tradition, check out our past year's events:
