Yom Ha'atzmaut Family Chagiga,

TONIGHT, Tuesday May 6th

Looking forward to seeing all of our families at tonight's Yom Ha'atzmaut Chagiga for a delicious Israeli buffet dinner, fantastic daglanut performance from our 1st - 8th graders, exciting special programming, singing, dancing and ruach!

Today's Yom Ha'atzmaut Activities

The students all had a wonderful time celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut in school today. The Early Childhood enjoyed the shortest flight ever to Israel where they visited the Hermon, the Kotel, Eilat, a kibbutz and much more! The Elementary School and Junior High learned all about Israel in different stations around the school. They learned about Israeli slang, making their very own chummus, learning about Israeli currency, music, dancing, games and so much more!

Stay tuned for our Divrei Yosef newsletter on Friday for more details and pictures!

Celebrate Israel Parade Permission Slip

& T-Shirt Order Form

We are eagerly anticipating our school's participation in the annual Celebrate Israel Parade annual Celebrate Israel Parade which will take place on Sunday, June 1st, 2014. Students in grades 4-8 will proudly represent Ben Porat Yosef as they march up the parade route on Fifth Avenue. Please fill out the permission slip for your child/ren below and send back to Pnina ASAP.

We would like the entire BPY Family to be involved in this wonderful event! Any parent is welcome to march with us. If you would like to, please fill out the form below under "chaperones" and order a T-Shirt. (Please note: the New York Parade Committee prohibits strollers and children under 4th grade from marching - but they can definitely cheer the marchers on!)

As we are all aware, this event marks the single most significant communal demonstration of support for Israel throughout the year. Sadly, considering the world-wide negative climate towards Israel, as well as in some government offices here at home, our personal and communal support for Israel is more important than ever.

We therefore urge each of you to make every effort to ensure that your child/ren participate in this event. As it is essential that we have a well-represented contingent, we also ask that our parents join us on the parade route.

We look forward to marching with you!
