Israeli Scouts Friendship Caravan will visit Beth Sholom Congregation in Elkins Park on Tuesday, August 1 at 5:45pm.

The group will provide a “fabulous, wonderfully-choreographed performance of song and dance in both Hebrew and English” as part of their 2023 series.

What Is the Caravan?

The Tzofim Friendship Caravan is celebrating 50 years of bringing excitement, energy and friendship to North America through friendship and performance! The first Caravan came to the United States in 1973 to bring a message of hope and peace for Israel. Since that first Caravan, the program has grown to three different Caravan travelling across North America, North, South, East, and West. 

Each Caravan is made up of a group of five girls and five boys and their two leaders. They are chosen to be members of the Caravan based on their maturity, fluency in English, and of course their talent in the performing arts. After several rounds of competitive auditions and interviews, the scouts spend a year training and rehearsing for their exciting summer in North America.
