Yom Ha’atzmaut Afternoon Tea
To celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut, WIZO Victoria in conjunction with Zionism Victoria held an afternoon in April, for our senior citizens. Over 100 senior citizens from the community came together to share in the joy of Israel’s 70th birthday celebrations and listened to a presentation by Sara Sofer, wife of Israeli Ambassador to Australia, Mark Sofer. Our guests also enjoyed wonderful entertainment by a singer and accompanying pianist.

Also in April, WIZO Victoria collaborated with many other community organizations at the Yom Ha’atzmaut community event. Children enjoyed attending the stall and making Israeli flag pencil toppers.
