Havdallah, Selihot and screening of October 8 film

OCTOBER 8 offers a look at the explosion of antisemitism on college campuses, social media and in the streets of America beginning the day after the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas. Through meticulous investigation, the film also uncovers how over decades, Hamas created sophisticated networks in America to permeate U.S. institutions and examines the tsunami of online antisemitism, propaganda, and disinformation unleashed by Iran, China and Russia – with the sole purpose of dividing American society.

Mishkan Miami: The Jewish Connection for Spiritual Support, is partnering with local therapists, who have been trained by Mishkan Miami and the Children’s Bereavement Center to create a Jewish parent peer support group for those who have suffered the loss of a teen or adult child.

The group's therapists and facilitators are Gail Harris, LCSW, and Cindy Soloway, MSW.
