Israeli Fair At JCC Story and Photos by David DeBlois When a group of visiting Israeli students put on an Israeli Fair fo r the kids at the J ewish Community Center in Providence on July 13, it ended up being fun for more than just the kids. Set up in a series of stations, the fair allowed the children to learn about Israel while they enjoyed themselves. There were puzzles, painting, and drawing of Israeli subject matter to be done. Photographs of Israeli landmarks were displayed and explained, and songs we re sung in English and Hebrew. At another station, "Bazooka Joe" bubble gum comics, printed in Hebrew, were given to the children and then translated by one of the Israeli students. Israeli music filled the hall. While camp counselors, including event chaperones Lisa Waldman and Jeffrey Astrachan, guided the groups of youngsters from station to station, members of the Yiddish Eldercamp strolled about and chatted with the visitors from Israel. Smiles were the order of the day. The children couldn't seem to get enough of the activities, and the Israeli students seemed to regret watching each group leave their station. Eldercamp members chuckled over the antics of the youngsters with the counselors, while perhaps learning one or two things themselves. Yes, despite the hot and humid weather outside, the Fair was, in the words of one youngster, "wicked cool."

Children flocked to the Israeli student translating "Bazooka Joe" comics printed in Hebrew.
