Snow cones ... Israeli music ... Chinese and Indian food ... Israeli art, singing children, and a 20-foot tall inflatable Noah's Ark (complete with a pink elephant ). These are just a few of the sights, sounds and smells of a wonderful sun-filled, fun-filled day on the lower lawn at Herzl-Ner Tamid. On September 18, more than 750 congregants and friends took part in Festivál, the "official" launch of our centennial year celebrations.

The Street Fair had something for everyone: balloons, ring toss, a street magician, and lots of food - from falafel to Krispy Kreme donuts - and, of course, lattes! There was also a splendid array of crafts, such as hand-painted talasim, Yemenite silver jewelry and hand-crocheted kipote.

Thank you to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make this wonderful event possible. and to our founders who had the vision to build for the future.
