Community Invited to Celebrate 'Shabbat Across Miami' March 4 and 5

Share the beauty and serenity of Shabbat with members of Miami’s Jewish community during ‘Shabbat Across Miami,’ taking place Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5 at Miami-Dade County synagogues, Jewish day schools and agencies. This annual Shabbat celebration, attracting worshipers of all ages and denominations, demonstrates that a Jewish community only can be built and strengthened with the participation of each individual.

Services will be held Friday evening and Saturday morning at locations across the county. In addition to study of Parashat Shekalim, each participating organization is partnering with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation to raise awareness about the many social-service, humanitarian and educational programs funded by the Annual Federation/UJA Campaign in Miami, in Israel and around the world.

There is no cost to attend “Shabbat Across Miami,,” and no reservations are needed. In addition, there will be no solicitation of funds by Federation.

For more information about “Shabbat Across Miami,” please contact [email protected] or 786.866.8680. Or, speak directly with one of the host partnering organizations listed below.
