| Shalom friends,
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, Siblings’ Day, Secretaries Day, Teacher’s Day… Amazing how many days have been selected to focus on the important individuals in our lives. But unique to Israel is our Yom HaMishpacha - a day to honor the family unit, as a whole, and its centrality to our lives.
Israel is a land of many achievements but the most precious is our families - the representation of past, present and future generations in one unit. Nothing is valued higher than laughing children and a healthy family.
Join us in celebration the family of Israel, in all its shapes and sizes.
