A sponsored “kick-off” walk to the Israel in the Gardens festival. All proceeds will go to a green project in northern Israel. The walk will feature families and students representing their Jewish day schools, congregational schools, JCC’s, Synagogues. Anyone else who would like to support Israel and help kick off this year’s event is encouraged to join.

Where Is It?
This year, Israel in the Gardens is being held at Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco. The walk will start at Yerba Buena Gardens at the Howard Street entrance, and we will end the walk at Yerba Buena Gardens at the Mission Street entrance.

Start Preparing, the theme is “Green”
This year’s walk emphasizes global resource conservation efforts. We hope participants of the walk will demonstrate their idea of “Green Israel” and highlight the ways their synagogue, school or community is “Green.”

We’re bringing conservation experts and educational resources
The Israel Education Initiative and the Israel in the Gardens Committee are working on bringing conservation experts from Israel who will be on hand to help educate the public on “Green Israel” We are also creating a range of educational resources for the walk and for “Green” activities to take place at the Israel in the Gardens celebration.
