Open Range Fellowship Israel Fair

The Israel Spirit Committee was invited to host an Israel fair at the Open Range Fellowship in Lone Jack, MO.  The Tikvah Dancers and Henry's band provided lots of music and dance entertainment.  Orit and Efi stamped passports and wrote names in Hebrew.  Ben brought mosaics, and Vicki supervised the hands-on archeology for the kids.  Nissim did teaching on Hebrew language as we cleaned up the kitchen.  The food offerings were:  coconut macaroons, dates, raspberry gazos, hot mint tea, and a falafel plate with pita, Israeli salad and olives.  The food was prepared by Nissim, Sheila, Nancy, Greg, TJ, Deb and some church volunteers.  Erin was the face of the kitchen and sold our food to the attendees.  A good time was had by all.

Jewish Arts Festival

We hosted a booth at the biennial Jewish Arts Festival at the JCC.  We had apples & honey, and coconut macaroons for sale, and distributed tourism materials.  Sue Ellen and the Nachums each had art/craft tables as well.  It was such a chilly day, that we would have done great if we had a hot drink for sale, so next JAF, we'll have sachlab or another Israeli hot drink.

Barstow School World Fair

Art brought the Israel booth to the Barstow School and distributed tourism materials and answered questions.
