Meet the Author Jewish Book Series with the Authors of Modern Loss
Posted by Liat Stilman on 04/03/2019 @ 11:20 AM
Grief is most definitely not a 'one size fits all'. Modern Loss is a web-based platform to provide support, founded by Jewish entrepreneur and former Colbert Report writer Rebecca Soffer and award-wining writer and journalist Gabrielle Birkner. The book of the same name shares modern stories of loss, which are insightful, touching, provocative and even 'scandalous'. In our culture, where people sometimes feel unsafe to share, the movement they have begun tries to reclaim grief as part of the tapestry of our lives. In doing so, they have supported thousands on their journeys. Join Federation's spiritual support director, Rabbi Frederick Klein, as he engages Rebecca and Gabrielle in a conversation about their own stories of loss, share surprising stories from others and help us to reframe how we can support friends and loved ones while going through their own grief. The book and their stories are surprisingly inspiring and will inspire you as well. As their tagline says: Candid conversation about grief. Beginners welcome. Sponsored by the the MARJCC/Sanford L. Ziff Campus. Mishkan Miami of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and Jewish Book Council. Books will be available for purchase. Call Rabbi Klein at 305-576-4000 for more information.
Hebrew Academy RASG Eighth Graders Win Cadena Initiative Competition for the Second Year in a Row
Posted by Liat Stilman on 04/03/2019 @ 11:06 AM
On Thursday, March 14, Hebrew Academy Middle School students competed in the 3rd Annual Cadena Initiative Social Entrepreneurship Competition, at Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus, against teams from other local Jewish Day Schools. Their objective was to come up with an idea that could be used before, during, or after a natural disaster in an underprivileged community. Students researched different disasters and areas they are likely to occur.
With the guidance of Middle School Science Teacher, Mr. Gonzalez, our 8th graders Bat Sheva Hazan, Rina Askenazi-Cohen, Shira Mayer won first place in the competition for the second year! They created a board game titled "Skilled Survivor,” which teaches children how to handle and protect themselves during a natural disaster in a fun and innovative way. As first place winners for South Florida, they will now move on to the international competition in Mexico City in May. If their idea wins, Cadena will invest in their concept, bring it to life, and install it in the communities around the world that would benefit from the warning system to help save lives.
Here is more information about the Cadena Initiative:
The Cadena Initiative is a humanitarian non-profit organization committed to providing aid, hand in hand, to people affected by natural disasters around the world. The foundation develops long-lasting, cost-efficient solutions that enhance the quality of living for vulnerable communities around the world.

Peace in the Middle East: What does it Need?

Many Middle East scholars are attempting to understand the developments in the Arab world and in the Arab and Muslim culture and religion. Additionally, Iran’s nuclear aspirations are the cause of a deep concern to many all over the world.

Until recently he was the Middle East analyst of the daily newspaper “Makor Rishon” as well as other publications. Dr. Kedar is a frequent guest in the Israeli, Arab and international media. In January of 2011, Dr. Kedar gave a very insightful presentation on Capitol Hill on "Why is the Middle East Such a Difficult Area for Americans and Westerners to Understand?” Please RSVP to The The Emanuel-El office 305-538-2503
