The Greater Miami Jewish Federation has established an Emergency Relief Fund to assist individuals impacted by the catastrophic hurricane, which made landfall as a category 4 storm near Perry, in the Big Bend area of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
The Greater Miami Jewish Federation, the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami and the Consulate General of Israel in Miami, in partnership with dozens of Miami synagogues, day schools and agencies, will come together on Monday, October 7 at Temple Beth Sholom for a powerful program to honor the victims and their families of the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Federation’s Israel and Overseas Committee recently approved additional Israel Emergency Fund (IEF) grants, with allocations now totaling nearly $2.7 million for programs supporting Jewish Miami’s key priorities following October 7.
On Sunday, October 6, 10-10:45 a.m., Federation chaplains and local clergy will lead local community members in Jewish Miami’s annual High Holiday Memorial Services, Kever Avot.
The Mission of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is to mobilize human and financial resources to care for those in need, strengthen Jewish life and advance the unity, values and shared purpose of the Jewish people in Miami, in Israel and around the world.
