PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island held its first Jewish Culture Festival on June 2.
“At the Alliance, we believe strongly that one of the best ways to combat antisemitism is to give people a chance to engage with our community,” President and CEO and Adam Greenman said.
Greenman said that the event featured Jewish food, art, music, and dance, as well as a kids’ area, beer garden, and food trucks.
He added that the organization expected a thousand people to attend by the end of the day.
“It’s been so great to see so many people from throughout the community come and join us,” Greenman said.
The event at the Dwares JCC runs until 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
