Young professionals gathered at the outdoor pool at the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center to celebrate Israeli Independence Day with traditional Israeli snacks and drinks, a DJ and Israeli-themed decorations. The young-professionals event followed the community-wide Israeli Food and Wine Festival, which included a concert. Rainy weather didn't spoil the celebrations. Pictured (from left) at the celebration were Wesley Chait, Becca Lahasky, Matt Scheps, Michelle Blumenthal, Jeff Spiro, Branden Johnson, Karina Gates and Audrey Furlong.
