Celebrate Israel Information

CelebrateIsrael.com was launched by Bet Shemesh residents Jael Kurtz and Judy Krasna in an effort to provide comprehensive, current, and reliable information to people planning a celebration in Israel. The idea for the website was developed after Jael and Judy discovered, while actively helping numerous friends and family members from the U.S. arrange their tours and events in Israel, that there were very few English language online resources to help people interested in planning and celebrating lifecycle events in Israel. It also came to Jael and Judy's attention that many people like to be "hands-on" when planning an event. They want to speak with the banquet hall manager or caterer directly to work on the menu, discuss party themes and centerpieces with the decorator, develop a preliminary relationship with the photographer before the event, or plan the song line-up with the musician. The "do-it-yourself" approach allows people to maintain full control of their event, which is particularly important while planning a celebration from across an ocean. An additional aim and objective of CelebrateIsrael.com is to bring more business to Israel and to highlight specialized and smaller vendors/services that may normally escape the attention or fall under the radar of people surfing the web or researching on their own. Celebrate Israel is more than just a website, it's a concept as well. We hope that you find a way to include Israel in all of your celebrations, no matter where they take place. Please contact us at info@celebrateisrael.com with any questions or comments, we'd love to hear from you.
