Donate Now to the Israel Emergency Fund Campaign

In response to the deadly terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas and the resulting war in Israel, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation opened an Israel Emergency Fund to bring critical aid to the victims and their families. Please CLICK HERE to make a secure online donation now. As the war continues and terrorist forces in neighboring countries begin to launch additional strikes on Israel, the needs are growing exponentially, and we are in close touch with our partners on the ground who are supplying life-saving support. We are grateful to more than 2,000 individuals who have already donated nearly $5 million to the emergency fund. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of so many. As always, Federation will absorb all administrative costs so that 100 percent of funds donated will provide critically needed aid to victims and their families.
