Israel in the Gardens
Sunday, June 3, 2007. 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (program)
Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco

More than 15,000 people unite once a year to rejoice and commemorate Israel’s Independence. It’s an opportunity to show our solidarity and publicly recognize members in our community for their extraordinary commitment to Israel and their efforts in strengthening Israel - Bay Area relations.

This event has something for everybody!
Listen to the hottest new music on stage through continuous live all-day performances; attend a theatre show; participate in a variety of activities for teens, young adults or families; taste freshly made ethnic foods; watch a movie at our film festival; get information on local organizations and resources; learn about short and long term Israel programs at the Israel Center and MASA booths; and shop for everything from jewelry to handmade clothing from dozens of local artisan craft booths.

This year we’re going green
We are particularly excited that this year’s theme emphasizes a matter universally resonant with Americans, Jews and Israelis - “Green.” In our traditional values to repair the world (tikkun olam), we invite you and organizations to join in our energy conservation efforts.  There will be informational booths highlighting the alternative energy plans of US and Israeli companies and a walk-a-thon, “Walk-a-mile for Israel,” to help sponsor global environmental preservation work.

Treat yourself, your friends and your family.  Volunteer to help or just sit on the grass and enjoy the day; we hope to see you there!

This year's winner of an ELAL ticket to Israel is:
Greta Dorfman from Santa Rosa, Ca.
