October is National Dyslexia Awareness Month and Federation’s Miami Jewish Abilities Alliance (JAA) has created a resource page for people with dyslexia and related reading differences. In Miami, Federation’s Annual Campaign supports 10 Jewish day schools, including Scheck Hillel Community School, which operates learning programs for students with dyslexia. “We empower students diagnosed with dyslexia to become independent, successful learners who can maximize achievement in every way,” says Eileen Ginzburg, Scheck Hillel's Director of Academic Services. "Scheck Hillel is grateful for Federation’s generous support. Through our Academic Services programming, families no longer need to forego a Jewish education.” Says one student, “Scheck Hillel's Nativ program has the most supportive teachers who saw my potential, even though I couldn’t ... I will always be grateful to this program.” Click here to learn more about Miami JAA and the wide variety of resources available for individuals with disabilities and their loved ones.

Attention, Miami Beach residents! Your ballots this November will include an item – Referendum 2 – which, if passed, would provide essential funds for the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach and many other cherished arts and culture institutions in the City. A YES vote is a vote in favor of granting our Holocaust Memorial up to $7.15 million from the City of Miami Beach for critical infrastructure needs. It will enable the Memorial to maintain its status as one of the City’s premier attractions, and to continue creating top-tier educational content for all schools statewide. With the recent spike in antisemitism, the Memorial’s work has never been more important. Click here to read more about the Referendum and how to ensure your vote is counted in the election.

Join us to learn from the top professionals at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum about the Federal institution's urgent initiative to Rescue The Evidence of the Holocaust from Latin American communities. Panelists from the Museum include:

Dr. Krista Hegburg, Senior Program Officer, International Academic Programs in the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies

Jaime J. Monllor, International Outreach Officer in The David M. Rubenstein National Institute for Holocaust Documentation

Leslie Swift, Chief, Film, Oral History, and Recorded Sound in The David M. Rubenstein National Institute for Holocaust Documentation

Federation subsidiary Base Miami has been chosen as the pilot partner for Embark, a project of The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) created in response to the growing number of interfaith marriages. The program, which has already enrolled 10 participating couples in Miami, brings the group together to study the tenets of Judaism and works to create a sense of community and a foundation for Jewish learning upon which participants can build their lives and raise their children. Miami was a natural choice for Embark’s pilot community since Base Miami had already began a number of initiatives targeting intermarried couples. One of those programs is Honeymoon Israel, which brings interfaith couples married less than five years to Israel for immersive Jewish experiences and provides follow-up educational activities upon their return. Director of Base Miami Rabbi Adam Gindea shared that Embark will offer two meetings per month, in addition to opportunities to join other events organized by Base Miami and Federation’s Young Leadership Division. “Our goals are to forge deep personal connections to Jewish heritage and values, while building and fostering meaningful shared experiences that will connect each cohort to the Jewish community,” he said. Interfaith couples interested in joining the program’s first cohort may contact Rabbi Gindea at [email protected].
