Run For Their Lives Solidarity Walk to #Bring Them Home Now
Posted by Lauren Gold on 06/04/2025 @ 01:44 PM
Sunday, June 8 | 9 AM
Join Run for Their Lives, Loving Moms United, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and others for a solidarity walk in Aventura to call for the release of the hostages in Gaza. In response to last weekend’s horrific terror attack in Boulder, CO, Jewish Miami will gather to walk around the Aventura Circle and mark 610 days of captivity. Now, more than ever, we must come together, raise our voices against violent antisemitism and show that hate will not divide us; it will only make us louder, prouder and stronger. There will be a strong security presence at this event to protect those participating.
Walk with us. Stand with us. Be #JewishMiamiProud and show what unity looks like.
Meet at Aventura Circle sidewalk, next to Macy's parking lot.

Comedy Night With Matthew Broussard
Posted by Lauren Gold on 05/28/2025 @ 04:07 PM
Thursday, June 26 | 7:30 pm
Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into standup comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics that he always manages to bring up (just did it!) His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He’s performed on the Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the Comedy Central Half Hour and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today. He is the creator of the webcomic and puzzle app, Monday Punday.
Beverages and light bites will be available for purchase beginning at 6:30 PM before the show.
Tickets: $28 premium seating/$18 standard seating, no drink minimum

MJFF Screening: Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore
Posted by Lauren Gold on 05/28/2025 @ 02:16 PM
Wednesday, June 11 | 7:30 PM
Presented by the Jewish Miami Film Festival (MJFF), Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore offers a deeply personal and inspiring portrait of Marlee Matlin — trailblazing Jewish actress, activist, and Academy Award winner — whose life and career have reshaped how we see representation and resilience.
From her Oscar-winning role in Children of a Lesser God to unforgettable performances in The West Wing, CODA and beyond, Matlin has carved a path through an industry often resistant to true inclusion. Yet, as this powerful documentary, directed with warmth and insight by Shoshannah Stern, reveals, her greatest strength lies not only in her performances but in her courage, faith and the communities that continue to uplift her.
