Greater Miami Jewish Federation, its JCRC and the RAGM Commend Scheck Hillel and Archdiocese for Swift Response to Physical Altercation

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation, its Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami (RAGM) commend Scheck Hillel Community School and the Archdiocese of Miami for their swift response to a physical altercation during a soccer match between Scheck Hillel and Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School. In addition to the physical violence, there have been numerous allegations of antisemitic gestures and language, and we understand that both schools are aggressively investigating the incident. We are grateful that both administrations have demonstrated zero tolerance for violence and any expressions of antisemitism or hate that may have occurred. The rising tide of antisemitism in South Florida and around the world is a serious issue, and we deplore any and all expressions of antisemitism and hatred. It is never acceptable. We will work in partnership with Scheck Hillel to support them in any and every way possible and to make sure that their students and families – and all Jewish people in Miami-Dade County – feel safe living openly as proud Jewish people.
