GREAT NEWS – Westchester can join together to celebrate Israel at the parade on Sunday, June 4th, 2023!
The 2019 Celebrate Israel Parade took place on Sunday, June 2, 2019 in New York City. As one of the largest Jewish Communities with over 150,000 Jews, Westchester is known for its cohesiveness and unity. By marching together we display the unique and wonderful community that we all work so hard to maintain. In addition, by marching together as one united community we make it easier for many families to have all members of their families march and travel together.
