Be a Lamplighter: A Chanukah Message From Our Community Rabbis

Rabbinical

Unity is not uniformity. Federation and its Jewish Community Relations Council, along with Miami community rabbis, have come together to offer a message of unity during these divisive times. Click here to watch a Chanukah video where our community rabbis remind us that to be Jewish is to be a spiritual light even when we are enveloped in darkness.
