Get thee to the Gardens

In case you missed the pull-out supplement and cover story last week, and you didn’t catch the page 2 story this week (we understand some people like to read j. like a holy book, from back to front), this is your final notice: Israel in the Gardens, the community festival that this year celebrates Israel’s 64th birthday, takes place Sunday, June 10 at Yerba Buena Gardens. You won’t want to miss the day of world-class performances, music, dance and kids’ activities — and that old festival favorite, bumping into old friends.
