HaTikvah - Sing to Celebrate & Set a New Guinness World Record
TODAY - Wednesday, May 7, 12:30pm (lunchtime)
 Celebrate Israeli Independence Day with a New World Record!
On the eve of Israel's 60th Independence Day, at 12:50pm LA time (10:50pm in Israel), Jews around the world will unite to sing Hatikva, Israel's national anthem. We'll be trying to set the Guinness world record for "Most People Singing an Anthem Simultaneously."
Come to CTJ at 12:20pm to sign in and get your song sheet. We'll do a dry run and then begin singing officially at 12:50pm. Don't be late!! If you don't sing, you don't count! Paul Silva of the Beach Reporter will be one of our official witnesses.
