Mother’s Day & Kids Archaeological Dig 2016

Visit Cafe Israel for an evening of savory Israeli dishes and wine tasting, live folk music and dance, and children’s activities on Mothers’ Day, Sunday, May 8 from 5 P.M. to 8 P.M. Slip away into the exotic world of the Bedouins to sip Turkish coffee and sample films from the region, all in honor of Israel’s 68th birthday. Children will enjoy our traditional archaeological dig with take-home treasures; inflatables; balloon twisting from Twister Theater; and crafts and games.

While the children play, shop our silent auction featuring fine art, theater and play performances, trolley tours, and much more. Our LIVE auction (featuring Jonas Gerard art, Moog Sub Phatty, as well as legal, entertainment, and catering services) begins at 7 pm.

Curious foodie? Our dishes are ethnic, authentic and hand-prepared. Many are Moroccan family recipes handed down for generations. Sample falafel and schwarma, mabucha and malabi! Save room for dessert? Bruce B. Brown Catering, renowned for its flavorful kosher delicacies, will serve hand-prepared Israeli desserts.

Congregation Beth Israel is located at 229 Murdock Avenue, across from North Asheville’s Weaver Park. For more information, visit our Facebook page, our Twitter feed, or call (828) 252-8860. An indoor event open to the community. Admission is free. Free parking is available on the synagogue grounds.
