Jewish Miami Makes Super Sunday and Good Deeds Day Super Great

More than 500 volunteers of all ages came together at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation last Sunday to raise vital dollars and join in meaningful mitzvah projects to support those in need. By the end of Super Sunday and Good Deeds Day, more than 800 generous donors had responded with contributions totaling more than $600,000 for the 2025 Federation Campaign. In addition, 2,000 good deeds were completed, including Purim gift bags, stuffed teddy bears for ICU babies, self-care packages for hospitalized children, weekend meal kits for students in underserved areas, videos for IDF soldiers and more. Special thanks to all who volunteered and donated, as well as to the Leadership Committee: Cristina Ben-Shmuel, Yael Bentolila & Michael Cases, Max Bochner, Amir & Liat Hayun, Mark Kravitz, Bari Mirotznik, Danielle Spiegelman and Scott Weingarden. Our sincere gratitude to the Ted Arison Family Foundation for making Good Deeds Day possible in Miami and around the world. If you didn’t get a chance to contribute, please click here to do so now.
