Community Invited to Celebrate 'Shabbat Across Miami' February 19 and 20

Join the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, participating Miami-Dade County synagogues, Jewish day schools and agencies, as well as worshippers throughout the community for a special Shabbat celebration on Friday and Saturday, February 19 and 20.

“Shabbat Across Miami” demonstrates that a Jewish community only can be built and strengthened with the participation of each individual.

Services for worshippers of all denominations will be held Friday evening and Saturday morning. Each of the organizations participating in “Shabbat Across Miami” is partnering with Federation to raise awareness of the many services provided by Federation-funded social-service agencies helping Jews in need in Miami, in Israel and around the world.

There is no cost to attend “Shabbat Across Miami,” and there will be no solicitation of funds by the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.
