The International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem is holding its Israeli Guest Night in Jerusalem this evening as part of its annual Feast of Tabernacles celebration.
The event will honor Yom Kippur War veteran Avigdor Kahalani, and will feature a video address by President Isaac Herzog. Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel will be the senior Israeli official in attendance.
Diplomats from 18 countries are also expected to attend, according to the ICEJ.
International performers include an Iranian-born vocalist singing in Farsi and Hebrew, and a klezmer band made up of Israelis and Ukrainians.
Tomorrow, the Jerusalem March will take place, with thousands of Christian Zionists marching from Sacher Park to First Station in Jerusalem. Christians from Egypt, Turkey, Algeria, Iran, Indonesia and North Korea will participate, among others, according to ICEJ.
Protesters are expected at both events, with police cordoning them off tonight in the Teddy Stadium parking lot. Anti-missionary protests against a Christian gathering in Jerusalem turned violent in May.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
