“This year, Israel is celebrating its 77th birthday,” said organizers of the event. “‘Party in Blue and White’ with us. We will have something for everyone so come for the food or the games or the friends! We will start the event off with a community singing of ‘Hatikvah,’ the Israeli national anthem, and all children will be invited to lead the song.” 
Organizers added, “Thank you to PJ Library and Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton, and the David and Virginia Eisenberg Fund for their generous support. We hope everyone will put on their favorite blue and white outfit and join the celebration!”
