Thousands of people have signed on to Zoom to hear about the country’s latest news, Israeli traditions, history and cultural touchpoints. Upcoming topics include life on an Israeli kibbutz and a Tu B'Shvat cooking class. Kolumbus is also offering her interactive, customized classes to our local agencies, synagogues and day schools.
