Federation’s Jewish Volunteer Center (JVC) and the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach are now accepting applications for a virtual edition of the Young Lion of Judah Program. Beginning on Sunday, October 25, teens becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah before August 2021 will partner with a Holocaust Survivor to build a priceless relationship, attend programs on Holocaust education or serve their community through volunteering.
