Best-selling author and internationally renowned speaker Doron Kornbluth will be discussing the topic, “How to Raise Kids to Love Being Jewish” at two events presented by the Greater Miami Jewish Federation in the Miami area on January 22 and 23.

Through stories and humor, Kornbluth’s exciting and informative talk has been designed to help Jewish parents and grandparents gain and easily remember both principles and practical tips for instilling Jewish pride in their children.

Kornbluth, who speaks to groups across the country, will answer questions for families, such as:

  • “We’re not religious, so how do we keep our kids Jewish?”
  • Guidance on celebrating, and not just dealing with, holidays and lifecycle events
  • How to handle Jewish education for both kids and parents.

On Tuesday, January 22 at 8 p.m., Kornbluth will speak in the Katz Auditorium at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC on the Sanford L. Ziff Campus, located at 18900 NE 25 Avenue, North Miami Beach. This event is being hosted by PJ Library Miami and the International Division of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. Gabriela and Joel Birnbaum are the Event Chairs.
