Every year, the OU has a great crowd of hundreds of staff members, lay leaders, Yachad members, NCSYers and many others who march with us in the Celebrate Israel Parade up Fifth Avenue in New York City. At this year’s parade, on Sunday, June 3, we’ll be marching with a huge OU billboard sign (on the back of a truck) and telling the world “There’s an OU for You!” We also have a early step-off time (around 11:20 am), leaving you free to enjoy the rest of the day.
Sign up at www.ou.org/israeli_day_parade. It’s great fun–so join us!
A 500-strong contingent, consisting of Yachad members, staff and advisors, as well as OU lay and professional leaders, together with many members of OU synagogues and the OU headquarters’ staff, marched up New York’s Fifth Avenue on June 5 in the 2011 Celebrate Israel Parade.
