Pretorians make merry at Yom Ha’atzmaut shindig
The Jewish community in Pretoria celebrated Israel’s 70th birthday in style with a delicious Israeli supper at the Pretoria Hebrew Congregation centre. Wonderful entertainment was also arranged for adults and children alike by Rabbi Levi Medalie and Batel Shina.

People sat at tables and socialised. A stand-out activity was the Magen David challenge, which went like this: On each table were 12 pieces of raw spaghetti and five marshmallows, and people had to try to create the tallest freestanding Magen David using these goodies. The activity generated much laughter and concentration, and the results were surprisingly good. A memorable evening was enjoyed by all who attended.
