Israelfest

ISRAELFEST IS POSTPONED

High winds in addition to potential flooding result in safety issues. Our partners and security consultants concur that Israelfest should be postponed.

We are sad that we cannot celebrate Israel, especially when it is under attack as it is today. We will find a new time to rally, to regroup and to celebrate Israel for all its accomplishments, so please stay tuned.

We thank all of our sponsors, partners, vendors, and the wider community for the support received in our celebration of Israel’s 71st birthday.

Israelfest, now in its fifth year, is a Yom HaAtzmaut community celebration of Israel’s birthday.

The largest celebration of Israel on Long Island, the event brings together thousands of attendees is a joint venture between Sid Jacobson JCC and UJA–Federation of New York with more than 30 partner agencies including synagogues, Jewish educational institutions, JCC’s, Jewish youth organizations, media partners and vendors.

This year’s event will feature live Israeli music from the band TLV and Jewish choirs, a variety of activities for all ages, food from vendors 16 Handles, Ben Deli, Colbeh, and Green Olive, rides for children, an Israeli Market Shuk and dancing. Admission, parking, and rides are free.

Israelfest takes place rain or shine, the entire event is tented to protect from inclement weather.
