28th Annual Ministering to the Elderly Conference
Posted by Lauren Gold on 05/01/2024 @ 10:41 PM
Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PhD will share wisdom from her years of practice as a therapist and rabbi and how we can turn wounds into wisdom and heal from our pasts. In her book Turning Wounds into Wisdom, she teaches that we carry within us tremendous riches, along with legacies of trauma and heartbreak. The world is calling us to heal our wounds and harvest the best within us. Her book is a call to action to transform our family's trauma legacies. Weaving contemporary neuroscience, psychology and ancient Jewish wisdom and values, this book provides a roadmap for Jews and all people with trauma history who wish to seize the power to change their lives.
As a token of our appreciation, we are offering you the opportunity to buy Rabbi Firestone’s book at a discounted rate at $10 prior to the day of the event. We will distribute pre-sold books on the day of the event. The books will also be sold on the day of the event for the regular retail price of $16.

Federation's Statement of Solidarity With Jewish College Students
Posted by Lauren Gold on 04/26/2024 @ 10:09 AM
The Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) stand in solidarity with Jewish college students across the country.
Jewish college students are being targeted on campus simply because they are Jewish or because they believe that Israel has the right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people.
We are grateful that our students here in Florida are not subject to the same magnitude of antisemitism as others elsewhere, although let us be clear: No amount of antisemitism is acceptable.
We agree with the recommendations of our partners at Hillel International, who have called upon university presidents to take four critical steps toward protecting Jewish students.
