‘Imagination Israel’ puts cutting-edge Jewish innovations on display in Boca By: Dale King Contributing Writer

Boca Raton area residents closed out 2017 by crowding the auditorium of Olympic Heights High School to view five cutting-edge, high-tech, Is- raeli-made products and to hear from the people who invented and crafted them. The program, “Imagination Israel,” an informative, celebratory event leading up to Israel’s 70th anniversary of state- hood this spring, was offered by the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County.
