Be Part of the Jewish Community’s Response to the Surfside Building Collapse
Posted by Tatiana Pekarovic Roe on 06/27/2021 @ 01:58 PM

Together with our partners — Jewish Community Services of South Florida (JCS) and Mishkan Miami: The Jewish Connection for Spiritual Support — we are providing financial assistance, chaplaincy support, crisis counseling and social services to people impacted by the tragedy. Please participate in the community’s collective response by clicking here. Donation checks with the notation “Surfside Building Collapse” can be mailed to: Greater Miami Jewish Federation, 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33137. As always, Federation will absorb all administrative costs so that 100 percent of funds collected will be used to provide assistance to those affected.
A Message from Jacob Solomon, President & CEO of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation on the Surfside Building Collapse Catastrophe
Posted by Tatiana Pekarovic Roe on 06/27/2021 @ 01:49 PM
As families of the missing continue their vigil in Surfside, I know there is not a single person of good will who doesn’t feel the urge to join with the community to offer support and solace to those who are suffering. For the Jewish people, coming together in times of crisis to help each other and to help others is part of our DNA. This time is no different. In this special edition of Federation Five, you will read about the assistance pouring into Miami from near and far through prayer, statements of solidarity and more than 7,000 donations to Greater Miami Jewish Federation Emergency Fund for the Surfside Building Collapse, which is providing critical assistance in areas of immediate need and planning for the long-term support of the individuals and families directly impacted by the collapse.
The Champlain Towers South catastrophe is a severe wound to our communal self and it’s an open wound that won’t start healing until everyone is accounted for. While the brave first responders and the local and international search and rescue teams continue their meticulous and holy work, we can find comfort in each other and in knowing that our Jewish community in Miami and all over the world is showing solidarity and support with the people affected by this disaster.
Let us continue to hold each other up and pray during this painful time.

Daniel Silva - The Cellist

Monday, July 12 8pm ET
$36 Book & ticket includes shipping
In partnership with National JCC Literary Consortium and Books & Books
A Special Evening with the Master of International Intrigue, Best selling Author Daniel Silva In Conversation with Dana Bash, CNN's Chief Political Correspondent
Daniel Silva follows up his acclaimed #1 New York Times bestsellers The Order, The New Girl, and The Other Woman with this riveting, action-packed tale of espionage and suspense featuring art restorer and spy Gabriel Allon.
The fatal poisoning of a Russian billionaire sends Gabriel Allon on a dangerous journey across Europe and into the orbit of a musical virtuoso who may hold the key to the truth about his friend’s death. The plot Allon uncovers leads to secret channels of money and influence that go to the very heart of Western democracy and threaten the stability of the global order. The Cellist is a breathtaking entry in Daniel Silva’s “outstanding series” (People magazine) and reveals once more his superb artistry and genius for invention—and demonstrates why he belongs “firmly alongside le Carré and Forsyth as one of the greatest spy novelists of all time” (The Real Book Spy)

Candle Lighting for Oneness - A Social Media Campaign
Posted by Tatiana Pekarovic Roe on 06/11/2021 @ 10:19 AM
Please share #CandleLightingForOneness throughout social media!
Take a look at the steps below to see how you can get involved.
A Candle Lighting Campaign for Oneness
On Friday, June 18th please participate in lighting candles.
In accordance with Jewish tradition, candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset on Friday night.
In a time of increasing darkness, invite in The Light of HaShem (a Hebrew word for God, meaning The Name).
Join the Jewish community in these traditions to honor and amplify the light within us all and invite peace into the world.
Bring Light into the World
Candles on Friday night mark the beginning of Shabbat/Sabbath - a time to disconnect from the outer world and tune into the light within us. Together, let’s light candles and meditate on the flickering flame with ONE prayer to bring more light into the world.
Sing For Peace
After lighting the candles, we’ll sing a song of peace, Shalom Aleichem – May Peace Be Upon You.
Share Sacred Blessings
Share blessings of lights and peace, and acts of goodness with your loved ones and community.
