New Life in the Negev!

Federation is helping make Israel's Negev region a more fulfilling place to live for current and future residents. As one of seven member-communities comprising The Jewish Federations of North America Negev Funding Coalition (NFC), the Greater Miami Jewish Federation supports important programs in the area in the fields of healthcare, culture, education, infrastructure and employment.
