Celebrating Israel's 65Th in a Fun Walk Friday 7 June 2013 /29 Sivan 5773 Volume 17 – Number 19 Countdown to Jewish south african Achiever Awards! (page 9) ewish eport DAYS J R 70 www.sajewishreport.co.za Celebrating Israel’s 65th in a fun walk Shimon Shamila, director of Israel Centre, with his wife Renana and his children (from left) Daniel (1), in his father’s arms; Binyamin (8); Itamar (4); and Michael (6), enjoyed the “Walk the Land 65” celebration of Israel’s 65th birthday in Huddle Park in Johannesburg, on Sunday. The SAZF and Israel Centre jointly arranged the two-kilometre walk. The walk, also billed a “celebration of life” and a “family fun day”, attracted walkers from non- Jewish Israel supporters as well. The walk had six stops along the way, all named after six Israeli cities and places of interest: Eilat, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Be’er Sheva, Haifa and the Golan Heights. At each stop there were various activities organised by the JNF, Betar, Habonim, Netzer, Israel Centre and Bnei Akiva. There was a raffle at the end of the walk and an iPad was donated by Israel Centre as the prize. The walk - and the entertainment - was thoroughly enjoyed by young and old.

SA Jewry is small enough to know itself well, but also small enough to keep secrets it regards as stigmas, like the presence of drug addiction, completely hidden. This may prove destructive rather than productive, for the lives of those afflicted.
