On behalf of the Officers, Board of Directors, and staff of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, we offer our deepest condolences to the families of the 17 students and staff senselessly and horrifically slaughtered Wednesday, February 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and to the entire school community of classmates, faculty and staff. We also offer our prayers for the full recovery of those injured and traumatized. All of South Florida stands together in offering our support of friendship to our neighbors in Broward County in the aftermath of this unthinkable tragedy.

Help provide healing and hope to our neighbors in Broward.
