Message From the Festival Chair
Welcome to the Jewish Heritage Festival Website. The Festival started as the vision of the Temple Presidents’ Council for Volusia and Flagler Counties. A Steering Committee began meeting in January, 2007 and has grown to over 40 members working hard to bring the best Jewish Festival to Florida. We have many working Sub-Committees and it is not too late to join our effort in planning the Festival or being one of the over 100 volunteers who will help on the day of the event.This event is non-profit involving all eight of the local synagogues, Bet Sefer Heritage School and the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler counties. Festival funding has come from Corporate Sponsorships and Family/Individual Donations. The festival will feature two stages of nationally acclaimed entertainment, Kosher, Israeli and Jewish-style food, Israeli and Judaica artists and vendors, Jewish Organization booths, and exhibits including a Holocaust Memorial and Jewish Hall of Fame. Children's entertainment will be available throughout the day including a rock climbing wall, matzoh baking, inflatables, a power jump, dunking booth, face painting, a petting zoo and camel and other animal rides. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
The Festival will express the heart and soul of Jewish Florida. For a single day it will intertwine the sounds, sights, and spirit of Jewish culture and bring together every facet of the Jewish Community, young and old, singles and families, regardless of their religious and cultural background. Like other cultural festivals, we also want to share our heritage with others – you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy a Jewish Festival! Let’s celebrate Jewish Heritage. Please don’t miss an opportunity to be part of this special event.
