Israel's Independence Is Celebrated At Events Throughout The Nation With The Most Jews -- The USA

The Israeli American Council was founded in 2007 for the approximately 500,000 Israelis who live in the United States. It has programs and events for Israeli-Americans in Los Angeles, Boston, southern Florida, Las Vegas, New York City, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. The local communities can attend cultural and educational programs and events for preschool children, elementary school children, teens, young adults, college students, young professionals, families and older adults.

The council’s local websites show how comprehensive the local programs are. The Boston program website, for example, shows there are programs that strengthen the connection between the Israeli-American and American Jewish communities, strengthen children’s Israeli and Jewish identities via Hebrew lessons, and help Israeli-Americans learn more about Israeli film, food, literature, music, and more.
