Shalom!

We are currently busy preparing for the 46th annual Salute to Israel Parade, which will take place on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in New York City on Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  This year we will celebrate the many and varied aspects of Israel’s Ongoing Heritage through our creative theme:
