The Dallas Jewish Community knows how to celebrate! Over 3,000 people joined together for the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas-sponsored Israel Independence Day at the J on Wednesday, April 29. Heavy rains did not deter anyone from honoring the Jewish state. In a true community event, over 25 organizations worked throughout the year planning and preparing for the extravaganza. Each organization offered activities for different ages and sent volunteers to man their booths. Yasher koach to this year’s chairs, Amy and Steve Schachter, Tami and Craig Prengler and Krista and Craig Weinstein, who worked to bring it all together, making the evening a wonderful success.
