The State of Israel celebrated its 61st birthday on April 29, the fifth of Iyar. At Yossi's, an Israeli buffet was fol- lowed by dancing and karaoke. Mike and Sima Snapir of Ann Arbor won a 32-inch, flat-screen television for "best performance of the evening." One of the guests who couldn't attend sent two dancers instead to heat up the event. "It was all worth the hard work; it felt as if I was in Israel," said Ilanit Rubin, who organized the evening. "The energy of the party brought the heat close to the warmth of Israel and its people!" Host Yossi Benjamin of Farmington Hills is a Haifa native. Spotted at the party were Ela and Dr. Kevin Homer of West Bloomfield, Karolyn and Ari Leibovitz of West Bloomfield, Jennifer and Robert Mattler of Bloomfield Hills, Tammy and Jeffrey Kahan of Bloomfield Hills, Renee and Stuart Kay of Farmington Hills and Annat and Scott Cole of West Bloomfield.
