Grounded in the Jewish traditions of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and caring for those in need, the JCRC’s advocacy efforts build a more just society. JCRC partners with other ethnic, religious, governmental and civic groups to promote discussion, mobilize for change and provide innovative approaches to a number of important issues.
Help give voice to the voiceless, stand up for social justice, advocate for Israel and raise awareness about today's most pressing issues. Connect with us to find out what the JCRC is doing in the community and how you can join it efforts. Contact [email protected] to get involved.

“Jewish community is the ultimate team sport,” said Scott Kaufman, Interim President and CEO of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, “and nobody has a better team than Jewish Miami!”
Earlier this month, Federation’s Israeli Division hosted the fourth annual Israeli Mini Mission, crisscrossing the country to bear witness to the horrific atrocities of October 7 and see firsthand how Federation donations are helping rebuild Israeli lives and their communities.
In this challenging time, engaging young Jews in a pluralistic, hospitable home of Jewish learning, culture and connection is more critical than ever. Helping in that effort are Rabbi Dvir and Shalhevet Cahana, the newly arrived resident Rabbinic couple of Federation-funded Base Miami.
Jewish Federations are contributing approximately $7 million in a partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Health to create 16 community-based mental health centers, which will provide much-needed services to 200,000 Israelis each year.
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.
