On Thursday, June 26, The J’s vibrant community was infused with even more energy and excitement as the Israeli Scouts Friendship Caravan arrived to celebrate Israel. The evening began with a lively, kid-friendly Shuk experience that introduced families to the rich culture of Israel. The lobby buzzed with joy and connection as guests engaged in this immersive activity, enjoying hands-on crafts and admiring a striking display of local artwork inspired by the streets and scenes of Tel Aviv.
The energy only grew as guests moved from the Shuk to the stage, where the Israeli Scouts delivered a high-energy performance filled with singing, dancing and endless ruach (spirit), inspiring audience members of all ages to get on their feet and join in the celebration. The night wrapped up with laughter and relaxation by The J’s outdoor pool.
