Welcome, Noam Shumakh, our new Director of Cultural Arts and Adult Programs!

We are thrilled to announce that Noam Shumakh has joined our Galbut Family Miami Beach JCC on the Simkins Family Campus as our Director of Cultural Arts and Adult Programs. Noam is a talented, experienced professional who will bring her passion and creativity to our vibrant community.

Noam has a background in leadership development, Jewish education, program development, marketing, and fundraising. She graduated from Brandeis University's Leadership Institute and studied at Ariel University Center of Samaria. She worked for nine years as a Project Manager for Limmud FSU-USA, a global network of Jewish learning festivals for Russian-speaking Jews. Before that, she worked for EZRA USA, the Russian-speaking Jewish Youth Movement.

Noam's hiring aligns with our important strategic planning priority —creating a dynamic programmatic Arts & Culture "center" and positioning the MBJCC as a premier arts and culture destination on the Beach.

Please join us in welcoming Noam as she becomes an integral part of our Miami Beach JCC family. We are confident that her expertise will enhance our cultural arts and adult programs, enriching the experiences of our members and the wider community. We are excited about the initiatives and fresh perspectives that Noam will bring to our organization.
