Join Jewish Miami to Honor Israel’s Fallen Heroes and Celebrate Israel 78

Stand Jewish Miami Proud with Israel at communitywide events honoring Israel’s fallen heroes and victims of terror and celebrating the 78th Israeli Independence Day. Show your support at this challenging time for our spiritual homeland and the Jewish people worldwide by participating in commemorations throughout Miami. These include the observance of Israel’s Yom Ha’Zikaron (Memorial Day) at Miami Beach JCC and Alper JCC, which, along with Michael-Ann Russell JCC (MARJCC), will hold festivities for Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day). The Second Annual Z3 Miami Conference, fostering dialogue between American Jewry and Israel, will address Zionism in Focus. Hosted by MARJCC, it will feature keynote speakers, workshops and activities aimed at engaging our multicultural community. Click here for a listing of events.
