ISRAELI SCOUTS ARE COMING IN JULY
Join Us!
FOR SPECIAL ISRAEL SCOUT PERFORMANCES, July 8 – July 13, 2013
The United Jewish Federation of Utah invites you to come and enjoy the exciting and entertaining Israeli Scouts performers.
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
This song & dance troupe introduces Israeli culture and folklore in performances for audiences of all ages, races and religions, and expresses the vast cultural diversity in Israel. Laugh and sing along as these ten fantastic High School seniors tell their stories through song and artistry. They were chosen after a competitive “American Idol” like national search. The Israel Scouts are part of the International Scouting movement. The Israeli Scouts are proudly sponsored by the United Jewish Federation of Utah, the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints Foundation, and the Great Salt Lake Council Boy Scouts of America. They will certainly entertain.
Please email Drora (doren@shalomutah.org) or call 801-581-0102 if you wish to host one or two scouts at your home during that time.

Utah Celebrated Israel 65th Birthday
On Sunday, April 21, 2013, at Wheeler Farm
We had a joyful celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut - Israel's Independence Day: a community picnic lunch, music, balloon art and glitter tattoos, a special program, and other activities.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was a special walk for Israel - "Walk the Land." Along with communities all around the world, we walked and learned together - viewing large murals displaying Israel's numerous contributions to the world. Thank you, Matt Weinstein, for leading the walk; Orit Sommer, Dganit Slovik, Dave Flagler, and Orly Ardon, for the inspiring program; Josh Goldberg for the music; Elad Sommer, Ben Nitka, Fran Lapin, and Haya Gur for help in setting-up and decoration; and to all our volunteers on "Walk the Land."
Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day
NEVER AGAIN
On April 8, 2013 at the JCC, we remembered the victims of the Holocaust, and reinforced the obligation we have to prevent genocide in the world today.
