SUMMARY:Lior’s Send-Off Carnival. \nGoodbye\, Not Goodbye: L’hitraot!
DESCRIPTION:In Hebrew\, we don’t say goodbye.

And although we’ll miss her\,\nwe’ve planned a joyful\, family‑friendly way to say thank you—and\nl’hitraot—with a special carnival send-off. \nJoin us for an afternoon of outdoor fun with blow‑ups\, games\, snacks and\ncommunity spirit—plus well wishes\, photos and your chance to tell Lior how\nmuch her time here has meant to Detroit’s connection with Israel. \n  * Family‑friendly carnival activities (blow‑ups\, outdoor games)\n  * Snacks and refreshments (kosher)\n  * Time to share gratitude\, memories and l’hitraot  \n**We are collecting photos\, well-wishes and memories from the past three years\nwith Lior.
