Tzofim Friendship Caravan Community Show at Katz JCC

The Katz JCC of Margate will offer a free community pre-Shabbat show with the Tzofim Scouts on Friday, Aug. 6, at 6:30 p.m.

The Friendship Caravan consists of a traveling group of 10 Tzofim (Israel Scouts) who crisscross North America each summer as emissaries, sharing their lives in Israel through song, dance and story.

Their show from Israel, “The Friendship Caravan,” consists of a mix of Israeli song, dance, stories and images designed to bring Israeli culture to American audiences. Helping Americans connect with Israel in this way is a 30-year tradition among the scouts.

Performing in Hebrew, English and Yiddish, these Tzofim scouts perform in uniforms, Middle Eastern garb, festive blue-and-white outfits, and in attire characteristic of shtetl life.

This has been hailed a performance “full of great energy” and one that “will be sure to have you and your families dancing in the aisles!”

Local families are needed to host the Tzofim scouts from Friday night through Sunday morning. Please contact Josh Cutler at 822-1167 ext. 138 or email JCutler@jccatlantic.org If you are interested in becoming a host family.
