In March 2013, 15 teenagers from Pardes Channa-Karkur, Israel, went on a 10-day trip to Ethiopia, on a mission called “Roots,” to gain a better understanding of the sacrifices and difficulties their parents and grandparents had to endure to give them a more prosperous life as Israelis.
More than 250 members of Jewish Miami came together to honor and thank Lily Serviansky for two years of dedicated service as Board Chair of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.
Federation and its agencies, in partnership with the Government of Israel, have launched a five-year initiative to bring the remaining 6,000 Bnei Menashe to Israel.
The Mission of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is to mobilize human and financial resources to care for those in need, strengthen Jewish life and advance the unity, values and shared purpose of the Jewish people in Miami, in Israel and around the world.
