Hundreds 'Walk for Israel' on Country's 65th Birthday
The Milwaukee Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Center hosted a daylong celebration for Israel's 65th Independence Day on Sunday.
Hundreds took to the streets of Fox Point with Israeli and American flags to celebrate Israel's 65th birthday Sunday afternoon.
The Walk for Israel event was just one piece of a daylong Israel Independence Day celebration organized by the Milwaukee Jewish Federation at the Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. The event, titled "Israel at 65: Then, Now and Tomorrow," also featured an Israeli flag dance performed by Milwaukee Jewish Day School students, camel rides, food demonstrations by Israeli chefs, coffee and conversation with Lt. Colonel Yonayan about Israel and an opportunity to write a letter to Israeli soliders.
