The Twin Cities Jewish community is celebrating Israel's 64th Independence Day on Sunday.
Hundreds of people are expected to attend a festival to celebrate Israeli Independence Day – Yom Ha'atzmaut – which recognizes Israel's declaration of independence and establishment in 1948.
The event starts at 1 p.m. with a Solidarity Walk, with participants walking along the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail to the Sabes Jewish Community Center (JCC), where there will be a celebration with Israeli musicians, dancing, Moroccan food, a marketplace and games.
The event is organized by the United Jewish Fund and Council of St. Paul and the Minneapolis Jewish Federation and is sponsored by more than 50 local businesses and Jewish organizations, according to a released statement from the United Jewish Fund and Council of St. Paul.
