Posted by Lauren Gold on 08/15/2024 @ 12:29 PM
Jewish high school seniors in Miami-Dade County are encouraged to apply for this meaningful and immersive educational experience from April 21-May 2, 2025. The program includes a two-week journey to Poland and, conditions permitting, Israel. Teens participate in a powerful march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, honoring the 6 million Jews murdered during the Shoah, while also exploring their sense of Klal Yisrael, or Jewish peoplehood.
Federation partner The Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) provides six months of education on the Holocaust, Israel and contemporary issues like antisemitism. This preparation helps participants deepen their Jewish identity and equips them to confront antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric in college and beyond. The Miami March of the Living nurtures emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, empowering youth to stand strong in their Jewish identity.

Sephardi Voices: The Untold Expulsion of Jews From Arab Lands
By Henry Green & Richard Stursberg
In the decades following the founding of Israel, close to a million Jews were forced from their ancestral homelands in the Middle East, North Africa and Iran. This story of state-sanctioned discrimination, violence and political unrest is told with stunning photography and gripping first-hand accounts from survivors. They tell of violent persecution and daring midnight airlifts—but also of a world left behind, and new lives in new lands. This is a story of Jewish history, of a resilient people finding strength in the face of terrible injustice.
