Celebrate Israel’s 70th Birthday with
Hollywood Temple Beth El and
the
Iranian American Jewish Federation
70
years ago, the impossible happened. A people almost wiped off the face of the
earth reestablished an independent state of Israel after 2000 years of foreign
colonialism, ethnic cleansing and genocide. On Saturday, April 21, the
members of Hollywood Temple Beth El and the Iranian American Jewish Federation
will celebrate the State of Israel’s 70th birthday with a joint
program at noon, following their Shabbat morning services which begin at 9:45
AM.
Gary Ratner,
Senior Executive of Stand with Us will address the gathering. Stand with

There
will be a musical presentation of popular Israeli songs led by Cantorial
Soloist, Bryce Emily Megdal. Megdal is a
dynamic and thrilling vocalist and song-leader who officiates at High Holy Day and other special
events for Hollywood Temple Beth El.
According
to Rabbi Norbert Weinberg, “The State of Israel is one of the modern wonders of
the world. The State of Israel is now an amalgam of Jews from such diverse
regions as the Middle East, Europe, Africa, India, and central Asia. One of the
oldest languages of the world, Hebrew, was reborn as a living, common tongue of
this reborn people. In its short history, a gathering of impoverished refugees
has become the leading innovator in
medicine, science, technology, and
agriculture. “
The
celebration will be held at the main sanctuary at 1317 N Crescent Heights Blvd,
West Hollywood. For more information, please call 323-656-3150 of email: temple@htbel.org
