Federation’s Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), in partnership with the Combating Antisemitism Movement, joined AJC and Hadassah as the Miami-Dade County Commission proclaimed May to be Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM).

In the spirit of honoring Jewish contributions to American society, JCRC, the Miami Jewish Film Festival and Miami’s three Federation-supported Jewish community centers (JCCs) collaborated to showcase the work of American Jewish film directors and share the stories of the American Jewish community. Each JCC hosted a different film on a different day. The last film in the series is The Levys of Monticello (May 22 at the Alper JCC). The screening will take place at 7:30 p.m.

Registration is required via the link above; there is no cost to attend.
