Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its JCRC Stand in Solidarity with Our US Military Personnel and the People of Israel

Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its JCRC support the joint United States and Israeli military actions in Iran and stands firmly behind the brave members of the United States Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces carrying them out. We pray for the safety of the Iranian people who have suffered under a murderous regime for 47 years, and for the Israeli people who are now under attack by the same regime.

We are tracking the war in real time and remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting our extended family in Israel in every way we can. We are in ongoing communication with local law enforcement and are unaware of any elevated threats to South Florida’s Jewish community. We encourage all to be diligent and we will continue to monitor the situation locally.

Am Yisrael Chai. Shabbat Shalom.
