Apply Now for the March of the Living

Applications for Miami's Leo Martin March of the Living 2025 are now open. Jewish high school in Miami-Dade County are encouraged to apply for this meaningful and immersive educational experience from April 21 to May 2, 2025. The program includes a two-week journey to Poland and, conditions permitting, Israel. Teens participate in a powerful march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, honoring the 6 million Jews murdered during the Shoah, while also exploring their sense of Klal Yisrael, or Jewish peoplehood. Federation partner The Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) provides six months of education on the Holocaust, Israel and contemporary issues like antisemitism. This preparation allows participants to deepen their Jewish identity and equips them to confront antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric in college and beyond. The Miami March of the Living nurtures emotional, social and spiritual well-being, empowering youth to stand strong in their Jewish identity. Click here for more information and to apply before the October 1 deadline.
