Jewish Miami Advocates In Washington, DC for Security Funding

Miami's Jewish community leaders traveled to Washington, DC twice this month to advocate for Jewish communal security funding, support for Israel and against antisemitism. Five local rabbis and a representative from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation's Jewish Community Relations Council participated in a cohort of hundreds of Christians and Jews from across the country. The national interfaith mission, intended for Christian and Jewish leaders, was organized by Christian nonprofit organizations and cosponsored by the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). Two weeks later, 15 representatives from Federation joined a delegation of 400 JFNA leaders to advocate for the Jewish American Security Act (JASA) and the SACRED Act. Both bipartisan initiatives would enhance the safety and security of not only the Jewish community, but all faith communities throughout the US.
