Join the Boston-Haifa Young Leaders, CJP's Young Leadership Division (YLD) and BIG - Boston Israel Group and meet IDF officers from the Hatikvah Soldiers Mission. This casual bar night will give young adults in our community the opportunity to get to know the officers from our sister city in Haifa and buy them a beer to show their appreciation, especially with Yom Ha'atzmut (Israeli Independence Day) right around the corner.

The location will be provided closer to the event for security purposes, but the event will be in downtown Boston, accessible by public transportation, and run from about 8-11pm.

From April 28th through May 4th, the Boston-Haifa Connection's Hatikvah Soldiers Mission will be addressing audiences all over the Greater Boston area about their experiences and their connections to the American Jewish community.  This delegation, created in partnership with Israel 's Ministry of the Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs, includes both male and female officers, as well as members of Israeli-Ethiopian and Israeli-Russian olim (recent immigrant communities).  The Hatikvah mission’s goal is to strengthen ties between Israeli and Diaspora Jews and help Bostonians, both Jewish and non-Jewish, learn more about a country many people only know about through headlines in the media.
