It's Happening In Miami

Apply now for Federation’s overnight camp financial aid programs — One Happy Camper and Jewish Overnight Summer Camp Scholarships — to give your child a Jewish summer experience that’s both unforgettable and more affordable.

Recognizing that Jewish overnight camp is one of the most meaningful experiences a child can have in creating a strong and positive Jewish identity, Federation offers these two options to help offset the cost of attendance for Miami-Dade County residents. Partnering with One Happy Camper, a program of the Foundation for Jewish Camps, and Jewish overnight camps across North America, Federation provides need-blind grants of up to $1,000 to families with first-time campers who attend public school or non-Jewish private school.

If you’re interested, apply early as a limited number of grants are available. Federation is also accepting applications for our 2024 Jewish Overnight Summer Camp Scholarships for children ages 8-17 who attend public school, private school and Jewish day school or yeshiva and can demonstrate financial need. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, January 31, 2024. Click here to learn more and apply for either opportunity.

Join BeWell Miami’s upcoming webinar, in partnership with The Wellness Institute, titled The Spiritual Child, with best-selling author and psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller. With all the uncertainty and negativity in the world, giving children tools to support their mental well-being is more important than ever. Recent studies show that cultivating a child's spirituality is a key protective factor for their mental health.

Dr. Miller's groundbreaking research proves that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality are 40% less likely to abuse substances, and 60% less prone to teenage depression. Learn how and why developing a child's relationship with their innate spirituality strengthens their resilience and overall well-being.

WEBINAR: Thursday, November 2, 8-9:15 PM

Join Moving Traditions for an honest one-hour conversation about how parents and teens can keep talking about the war in Israel and Gaza even as we may find ourselves with very different sources of information, peer groups, and possible responses to the ongoing war.

Moving Traditions CEO Shuli Karkowsky will sit down with a panel of experts to talk about the psychology behind how teens process the news, strategies to foster discussion when you agree and when you don't, and how to set boundaries for discourse and root those boundaries in love. The panel will include: • Dr. Julie Hirschfeld, a psychologist and parent coach • Dr. Jonathan Golden, Director of Drew University’s Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict • Rabbi Daniel Brenner, Moving Traditions' VP of Education • Emily Levine, a Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellow who attends Scarsdale High School in NY and Westchester Reform Temple
