On the beautiful Beau Rivage Palace in Lausanne, on a summer evening of June 18th, the Jewish community of Lausanne and Friends of Israel from Lausanne and Geneva participated in the annual Gala of Lausanne.

Special guests were 24 cadets from the public administration program in Israel. They have all listened together to the opening speeches of KH world chairman Mr. Sam Grundwerg and the president of KH Lausanne – Mr. Yves Braunschweig.
