May is Jewish American Heritage Month

Earlier this week, Federation’s Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), in partnership with the Combating Antisemitism Movement, joined AJC and Hadassah as the Miami-Dade County Commission proclaimed May to be Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM). In the spirit of honoring Jewish contributions to American society, JCRC, the Miami Jewish Film Festival and Miami’s three Federation-supported Jewish community centers (JCCs) are collaborating to showcase the work of American Jewish film directors and share the stories of the American Jewish community. Each JCC will host a different film on a different day: The Automat (May 17 at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC), The Fabelmans (May 18 at the Miami Beach JCC) and The Levys of Monticello (May 22 at the Alper JCC). All screenings will take place at 7:30 p.m. Registration is required via the links above; there is no cost to attend.
