Join us for our third and last Colors of Israel this year as we hear from fellow CSJCC member, Josef (Yossi) Shohat. Yossi arrived in Tulsa in 1987, has raised his family here and is a valued member of our community. Yossi was born in Jerusalem to Iraqi parents who had made Aliyah to Israel to raise their 11 children. He will share the moving story of his family and of other Jews who came to Israel from Arab countries. It is a story of fulfilling an ancient dream to come to the promised land, and a story of overcoming the hardships and challenges trying to integrate into a new society with a different culture. We will first enjoy a dinner of traditional Iraqi food at 7 pm followed by Yossi’s talk at 7.30 pm.
