The Main Event Wows Record-Breaking Crowd of 1,700

Jewish Miami was loud and proud at The Main Event last Sunday, where the Greater Miami Jewish Federation debuted our new Jewish Miami Proud video to a record-breaking crowd of 1,700 people. The video is part of an all-new campaign that shows how people of all ages in our diverse community “Do Jewish” and invites everyone to show us what makes you #JewishMiamiProud. Inspired by this and so much more, guests generously contributed $4.3 million for the 2025 Federation Campaign. Participants repeatedly rose to their feet to applaud performances by Eden Golan, Matisyahu and Montana Tucker, along with a frank and fascinating discussion about anti-Israel rhetoric and skyrocketing antisemitism by Michael Rapaport, Bari Weiss and Dan Senor. Also on stage that evening were survivors and bereaved family members of the Nova Music Festival Massacre, including Ofir Amir (pictured above), one of the Festival founders, who recounted his experiences on October 7.
