The Hora Israeli Dancers performed onstage yesterday at the Yom Ha'Atzmaut and Lag b'Omer celebration held at Skygate Park. The event featured live music, entertainment, food, booths, arts and crafts in celebration of Israel's 59 years of independence. The celebration, akin to America's Fourth of July, brought members of the Jewish faith together.
