Federation’s Jewish Community Study Is Underway: Your Voice Matters!

Participate in the Future of the Miami Jewish Community

Miami skyline

In order to better understand the demographics and the needs of the Miami Jewish population, every 10 years the Greater Miami Jewish Federation commissions a community-wide study. The study launched in February through the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University, in partnership with NORC at the University of Chicago, an independent research institution.

The data will provide a dynamic understanding of how many Jewish families and individuals call Miami-Dade home, as well as where there are gaps in Jewish communal programming and services, or barriers to affiliation and participation in our Jewish life. Because this is a scientific survey with a defined sample frame, not everyone will receive an invitation.

If you receive a call or an invitation via email or text entitled “Miami Jewish Community Study,” participation is strongly encouraged and all responses are completely confidential.

In the aftermath of October 7th, amidst heightened antisemitism and anti-Zionism, Yom Ha’Atzmaut and Yom Ha'Zikaron hold deeper significance than ever before. Our decisions, narratives, traditions and calls to action will significantly influence our community member’s connection to Jewish identity and the State of Israel.

M²: The Institute for Experiential Jewish Education, a national organization that helps educators and organizations design compelling educational experiences, is holding gatherings around the country to help those who program Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom Hazikaron rethink how things might be done differently this year.

CAJE-MIAMI INVITES YOU TO Join Yehudis Smith, Director of Early Childhood and Congregational Education, as she shares with you what she gleaned from the M² “Yamim Project” workshop that she attended in Chicago.
