The hearts will be sent to schools in Israel after the festival, which runs from noon to 5 p.m. at Fourth and Mission streets.

The heart project is sponsored by the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation’s Israel Center and initiated by the Israel Center’s Vavi Toran. It is being replicated in communities around the world. Information on the festival: www.Israelat55.org or (415) 512-6236.
