Explore how to learn and grow through the aging process at the 25th Annual Ministering to the Elderly Conference on Monday, June 7 at 9 a.m.-12:45 p.m. The virtual event, The Tapestry of Aging: Weaving Threads of Life, will feature Rabbi Laura Geller, co-author of the book Getting Good at Getting Older, and NYU professors David M. Elcott, Ph.D. and Stuart Himmelfarb, who will examine how to help seniors develop new paths for personal fulfillment. The conference is a collaboration between Federation’s Mishkan Miami, Jewish Community Services of South Florida and Miami Jewish Health. Continuing education credits are available for mental health care professionals, guardians and nursing home administrators. The $36 registration fee includes Rabbi Geller’s book. Click here for more information and to register.

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) welcome the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups. Even after an 11-day onslaught of more than 4,000 rockets that were intended to sow destruction and indiscriminately murder as many Israelis as possible, we are eternally longful that the cessation of violence will be sustainable and lasting, and ultimately lead to permanent peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

However, any durable peace agreement will require Hamas to lay down its arms, change its violent ideology and reconsider its aims and goals. A rogue terrorist entity whose charter overtly seeks the obliteration of Israel cannot be permitted to fire indiscriminately across borders at Israel’s inhabitants. Israel — and Jewish people — have the right to defend themselves.

Federation and its JCRC will continue to support Israel and its people, and through our partners on the ground, we will lend our hand to the rebuilding of communities and lives shattered during the current wave of violence. We are grateful to our elected officials on both sides of the aisle who maintained moral clarity by expressing unwavering support for Israel’s right to protect itself and its citizens.

As calm returns to the region, we continue to mourn the innocent Palestinian and Israeli lives lost on both sides of the conflict. May they know no more sorrow and may this ceasefire represent a meaningful step toward peaceful coexistence.

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) strongly condemn the barrage of rocket fire and incendiary balloons launched from Gaza by Hamas and Islamic Jihad that began on Monday, May 10 and has continued through today.

We are deeply concerned about this major escalation of violence by these two terrorist organizations utilizing hundreds of rockets aimed at heavily populated areas in Israel causing deaths and injuries. The attacks have been widespread from small towns surrounding Jerusalem to the heart of the country in Tel Aviv and have forced millions of Israelis into safe rooms and bomb shelters causing trauma and fear. Schools are closed and everyday life has come to a standstill.

The recent wave of provocative attacks must end with an immediate ceasefire. By forcing Israel to retaliate to protect its citizens, these extremist groups are responsible for deaths on both sides of the conflict.

We unequivocally stand with the people of Israel and support Israel’s right to defend itself and do all that it can to stop these attacks on its civilians at once. Many members of Miami’s Jewish community have children, grandchildren, extended family and friends in harm’s way at this very moment and we join them in praying for their safety and wellbeing. We extend our prayers for a speedy recovery – refu’ah sh’leymah – to all those injured and mourn for all innocent lives lost during these senseless attacks.

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is pleased to provide another Kosher Food Distribution Drive-Thru Event
