The study and celebration of Israeli Jewish culture for large, diverse populations via two annual festivals. The Hakhel Festival, held annually for the past ten years during Sukkot, and the Lo Bashamayim (Not in Heaven) Festival, which completed its tenth year at Kfar Blum last July, represent two large-scale public events, which attract between 4,000-5,000 participants each. The festivals are valuable to the foundation as cultural events that explore the manifold connections between Jewish and Israeli identity and that convey the clear message that Jewish culture is relevant to all.
