Federation Helps Argentine Jews

Since 2014, Argentina has faced an unemployment crisis, making it difficult for thousands to feed and provide homes for their families. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is delivering food to the country’s most economically depressed Jews through Mezonot, a program of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Federation's overseas partner. Serving more than 500 individuals, 20 percent of whom are under 18, the relief program collaborates with local Jewish organizations to provide a broad range of aid, including housing subsidies and essential home repairs.
