After wandering the desert for 40 years, what's another 2.3 miles? Today, Israel's supporters in Kansas City join 100 other communities around the world in a global Israel Walk to celebrate Israel's 60th Independence Day. Participants gather at 10 a.m. at Congregation Kol Ami (7501 Belinder, Prairie Village). At 10:45, beginning at the sound of a ram's horn, walkers will follow a 2.3-mile route along 75th Street and neighboring side streets, ending at Ohev Sholom (5311 West 75th Street). Musicians and street performers will entertain walkers on their way, and the route is lined with murals depicting images of Israel. The walk is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, the Jewish Community Relations Bureau, Congregation Kol Ami and Ohev Sholom. Participation is free. For more information, see jewishkansascity.org.
