Our community has decades of experience with hurricanes. We understand the devastation and suffering that follows a catastrophic storm like Hurricane Dorian. Let us join together to help those affected — wherever they may live — to rebuild their lives. We cannot help but be grateful to have been spared a direct hit in Miami-Dade County. Please give as generously as you can to assist with the immediate needs in the aftermath and long-term recovery for those who were not as fortunate.

We will continue to monitor the storm and assess its impact on other communities so we can provide assistance to those affected.

Seats are offered to members of Miami’s Jewish community who are unaffiliated with a community synagogue.Advance reservations are required to accommodate the large number of worshippers and to ensure security.
