Meet Scott Kaufman, Interim President and CEO of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation

Here in Miami, he noted, “The current uptick in population growth, along with the heightened sense of Jewish connectivity, has created many important opportunities that we can seize. But no one person can create change on their own.” He added, “It takes everyone. Miami is home to one of the greatest Jewish communities in the world.”
