Israel Independence Day

Every year I get to celebrate the joys and sorrows of the Jewish community here in Rochester. Recently we had the Yom HaShoah (holocaust) remembrance, but most events are the lively joyous family events and famous visitors (see my entry on Leonard Nimoy HERE)

The event this week combines both aspects as we remember the fallen in Israel’s wars, but also party with an Israeli musician as we celebrate the 59th year of independence.

Great fun and couldn’t be more visual for my photos, eh

Highland Hospital’s First Gala a Huge Success

It was a sellout event from the start as so many people wanted to show their support for the renaissance of Highland.

It was a fun evening with everything, including a fashion show of custom dresses by one of Highland’s own docs! And everyone was prepped by Scott Miller Salon. Add in honarary chairs Wendell Castle & Nancy Jurs dancing and donating a tour of their studio… and you know it was a cool party

Thanks so much to my friends at the URMC that recommended me for this Highland event… I had a great evening!
