סן דיאגו ישראלים

San Diego Israelis

Kef Li™ brings together the Israeli community for some fun, welcomes new Israelis and provides a warm and connected Israeli community for our kids to grow up in together.

The Tarbuton ™, located in several locations in San Diego, provides weekly chugim where the kids can learn to read/write/speak Hebrew and enjoy their friends in a Hebrew speaking environment.

The families are primarily Israelis with many families who have one parent who is an Israeli and one who is not. Hebrew is the primary language spoken during activities.

Regardless of where you live, what Synagogue you belong to, or what school they attend, the Israeli community can be connected through the Tarbuton ™ and Kef Li™'s activities.

Sunday May 17, 2009 from 4:00 -7:00 pm or later.... Next Family Event - Medura for Lag Baomer & Picnic

We've made this an annual tradition. So, let's do it again! I'll bring the marshmellows as usual.... Need Volunteers: Please let me know if you can bring some wood. Location: Contact Jennie for details. What to bring: Please bring sweaters, change of clothes, small mini grills if you want to have more control of your food (you can put your food on the medura directly, but you may have to fish it out!) there may be a few grills there - but those bringing them keep Kosher so no Pork - suggest you bring kosher hot dogs only), hangers to string up potatoes and foil, blankets and chairs to sit on, etc. Balls to throw/kick, etc. Bring a guitar if you have one and play or other instruments if you're game. We've in years past stayed late to see the fireworks on Sunday nights and then sing together into the night around the Medura... RSVP here - http://sandiegoisraellagbaomermedura.eventbrite.com/
