Federation has established an assistance fund to help the community recover and rebuild. Click here to make a secure online donation now. As always, Federation will absorb all administrative costs so 100 percent of funds donated will be forwarded to Beth Israel Congregation. Donation checks with the notation “Mississippi Synagogue Fund” can be mailed to: Greater Miami Jewish Federation, 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33137. For assistance, you may also call 305.576.4000.
