This Chanukah Give the Gift of Israel

Gift of Israel

This Chanukah, give your child the Gift of Israel, a Federation program that allows you to save for his or her future Jewish educational experience in Israel. Your annual investment will be matched by contributions from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and participating synagogues. Families that enroll beginning in Kindergarten can save as much as $3,000, plus interest, to be used for eligible Jewish educational programs like March of the Living, Alexander Muss High School in Israel, Diller Teen Fellows, Masa programs and many others. The funds may then be used for travel from eighth grade to age 26. One parent calls it “one of the smartest investments [I] ever made.” If you are not a member of a synagogue, you may still participate and Federation will provide a $100 annual match.
