Salute to Israel Parade in NYC
NEWS: May 31 2009 Salute to Israel Parade in NYC – Images by Dio Dipasupil
In 1964, thousands of Jews gathered to walk down Riverside Drive together in a show of support for the young State of Israel. Since then, the Salute to Israel Parade has continued its tradition as the world’s largest gathering in support and celebration of Israel and its people. A major vehicle for Zionist expression, the Parade enables communities to come together in a non-partisan, apolitical show of unity and solidarity with brothers and sisters in Israel.
