The annual Celebrate Israel Parade is the world’s largest public gathering in celebration of Israel led by a delegation of Knesset Members. This year the parade will also feature Grammy Award-Winning Violinist Miri Ben-Ari and Derrick Sharp- Retired Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Team. The parade will be broadcasted live on FOX MY9 from 12:00 to 2:00 pm lead by co-Anchors Steve Lacey, FOX anchor & Becky Griffin, former MTV Europe VJ.
The Parade will go up Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue from 57th to 74th Streets. This year, the LGBT cluster has been honored with a spot at the front of the parade so that means that our line up time is an EARLY 10:30 AM. We will be assembling on Fifth Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets. Most likely we will step off shortly after 11:00.
In order to get the official 2015 LGBT cluster t-shirt, you must email your RSVP to joseph@awiderbridge.org. (We ran out of t-shirts last year and we are increasing the order but they will go to people who pre-registered first.)

This year’s parade theme: Israel Imagines
The founders of Israel had a dream. They imagined a vibrant, independent and Jewish state that would not only be a haven for Jews from all over the world, but also one that would incorporate the best characteristics of its citizens: brains and brawn, creativity, determination, fairness and imagination – a state whose greatest natural resource is its people who could imagine that future – one that would benefit the whole world! Today’s Israel is a result of that dream. We invite you to use your imagination and creativity to highlight some of the things that Israel imagined and continues to imagine – some that have come to fruition and some still to be achieved.
