Yom HaAtzmaut

Yom HaAtzmaut (Israel's Independence Day) was celebrated again this year at Kehilath Israel Synagogue, and Israel Spirit hosted the food again.  We had a great turn-out and sold out of our food:  falafel, cabbage salad, Israeli salad, harissa, tahini sauce, Bamba, potato chips, fish sticks, chocolate spread and pita. We also sold some Dead Sea products at a craft table (thank you Sue Ellen).  Shiran brought in two performers from Israel (Yaniv Harel) and had lots of activities for children.

The kitchen chiefs:  R. Segal (Vaad HaKashrut) and Deb
The food tickets:  Erin and Shiran's mom (from Israel) 
The servers:  Alan, Larry and Leah
Other helpers:  Joe
Thanks also to Nissim, Sheila, Charles, Jake, Susan, Tiffany, Deb, Katie (please forgive me - I must have forgotten people!).  The food was great, people enjoyed it, we broke even on costs, and we hope to host the food again next year.
