Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa Among Speakers

LOS ANGELES, CA, Sep 29, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- With thousands of Southlanders looking on, history was made on Sunday, Sept. 28, when the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles became the first Israeli Consulate office in North America to fly the flag of Israel outside its front door. The more than 7,000 people in attendance at the event, which was held to commemorate Israel's 60th anniversary, can be traced to Los Angeles' unique position as home to the world's largest Israeli community, outside of Israel itself.
