4th Annual Partnership Memorial Art Contest

The results of our 4th annual art contest are in, and the top photos are on display at the Kiryat Malachi Library.  A calendar of the top 14 pictures is being made for Israel, and note cards for the 3 US federations of 8 of the pictures, 2 from each community, are in the works.

The contest has been in the memory of two people, one in the US and one in Israel.  Chuck Simpson, z"l, was the husband of Amy Wasser-Simpson, the staff person in Seattle who has been active in the partnership for many years.  Netanel Peretz was the son of Yossi (and Edit) Peretz, from Kiryat Malachi.  The Peretzs have opened their home to many people from the States in the spirit of partnership.

Here are some of the top pictures for you to enjoy!
