The Tzofim Friendship Caravan is celebrating 50 years of bringing excitement, energy and friendship to North America through friendship and performance! The first Caravan came to the United States in 1973 to bring a message of hope and peace for Israel. Since that first Caravan, the program has grown to three different Caravan travelling across North America, North, South, East, and West.
Each Caravan is made up of a group of five girls and five boys and their two leaders. They are chosen to be members of the Caravan based on their maturity, fluency in English, and of course their talent in the performing arts. After several rounds of competitive auditions and interviews, the scouts spend a year training and rehearsing for their exciting summer in North America.
Friends of Israel Scouts is excited to announce a special partnership with the Jewish National Fund (JNF)! By working together, we look forward to continuing to strengthen the bonds between Israel and North America.
Jewish National Fund (JNF) began in 1901 as a dream and vision to re establish a homeland in Israel for Jewish people everywhere. Jews the world over collected coins in iconic JNF Blue Boxes, purchasing land and planting trees until ultimately, their dream of a Jewish homeland was a reality. Today, JNF strives to bring an enhanced quality of life to all of Israel’s residents, and translate these advancements to the world beyond. JNF is greening the desert with millions of trees, building thousands of parks, creating new communities and cities for generations of Israelis to call home, bolstering Israel’s water supply, helping develop innovative arid-agriculture techniques, and educating both young and old about the founding and importance of Israel and Zionism.
For those of you that don't know the Flash Gordon Pinball Machine is a tough one to play.. Maybe the next time I play it I might need this song in my ear (Once you get past the Israeli Kemit the Frog, Ofra will sing you the song):
Haven't seen many comments here on the blog. I do hope you all are keeping a close eye on me! Just fun and work and more fun. I'm taking a small break from a few things and catching my breath to see what I can get accomplished in the next few weeks.
Here is a good one to get Shabbat started! Ofra Haza singing Shabbat Malka (The Sabbath Queen!) This song has a fun Israeli line dance that goes along with it!
Epic things are happening in the world. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of antisemitic things going on at the same time.
The Scottsdale Jewish Community center held an event for Israel Independence day and this is what happened. Video link (Sorry about that) Could only put the link because it can't be viewable outside of YouTube!
HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!
