This year, to celebrate Israel’s 67th anniversary, the community will once again come together for one big, festive event filled with music, family fun, and Israeli spirit! This year’s celebration is co-chaired by Jennifer and Joshua Herz.

JUF’s 2015 Israel Solidarity Day will be held Sunday, May 3 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.* at Ravinia Festival, 200 Ravinia Park Road in Highland Park.

Event highlights include:
• The Walk with Israel – a three mile demonstration of community solidarity
• Exciting all-day entertainment featuring The Jamman Drum Circle, The Maccabeats and Hadag Nachash;
• Food for purchase and activities for all ages

Dollars raised at this year’s Israel Solidarity Day will support Israel Children’s Zone, a program that provides services to some of Israel’s most vulnerable children. Located in JUF’s Partnership Region, Israel Children’s Zone engages disadvantaged students in educational, psychological, and social intervention programs that enrich their lives and provide them the support they need
to succeed.

Volunteers are needed for a variety of important positions to make the event run smoothly. All Israel Solidarity Day volunteers will receive a complimentary TOV T-shirt. For more information on volunteer roles, shift times or to sign up to volunteer, call the JUF TOV Volunteer Network at (312) 444-2850 or visit www.juf.org/ISD.

The day’s main programming will take place in the afternoon to accommodate congregational schools. Register online to participate, volunteer and/or donate at www.juf.org/ISD.

Registration will open at 10:30 a.m. for a young family (children ages 5 and under) concert featuring Rick Recht at 11 a.m.
