Jewish Miami Remembers October 7

Close to 1,400 friends of Israel gathered at Temple Beth Sholom on Monday for Miami Remembers October 7 to memorialize the deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust. Community cantors performed prayers and songs and Holocaust Survivors lit yahrzeit candles for the 17 communities decimated by Hamas massacres on October 7. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Mayor Steven Meiner and Miami Beach Police Chief Wayne Jones recited prayers and Florida Senator Rick Scott shared his experience visiting Israel following October 7. Guest speaker Ziv Levi came from Israel to honor his sister and her family who were brutally murdered by terrorists in Kfar Aza. The local Israeli Scouts, Tzofim Shevat Barak, took the stage as member Liya Mizrahi (pictured) sang the moving Will Always Wait for You. The event was presented in conjunction with the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami and the Consulate General of Israel in Miami, in partnership with dozens of Miami synagogues, day schools, agencies and other organizations.
