Hurricane-Ian-2022_01 image

In the wake of the devasting toll Hurricane Ian had on the state of Florida, the Miami Beach JCC would like to send our love and support to all those affected. In order to help the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced or stranded, we join The Greater Miami Jewish Federation as well as Jewish communities across the county to help provide critical shelter and aid.


The Greater Miami Jewish Federation has established an Emergency Relief Fund to assist those affected by Hurricane Ian. In the face of the devastation, immediate help is needed. One hundred percent of the funds collected will provide aid and critical support to those in need. If you would like to be part of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation's response to Hurricane Ian, please give here: https://jewishmiami.org/hurricaneian/

The-Convention-of-Wives image

Dina and Julia first meet at a sur­gi­cal con­ven­tion and bond over frus­tra­tions with their hus­bands’ demand­ing sched­ules. But geog­ra­phy, time, and grow­ing fam­i­lies make main­tain­ing their friend­ship dif­fi­cult and their rela­tion­ship even­tu­al­ly falls apart.


A sweep­ing saga that fol­lows gen­er­a­tions from a shtetl in Odessa to the com­forts of Scars­dale, an upris­ing in Glas­gow to servi­tude in the Caribbean, and a trek through the Alps to a dis­placed per­sons camp in Italy, The Con­ven­tion of Wives is a sto­ry about the ever-evolv­ing messi­ness of friend­ship and mar­riage, and the won­der of survival.


The Convention of Wives is Debra Green’s first novel.

IMG-4559-scaled image

"My daughter, Charlie, and I were at the beach this morning making a sandcastle “town” together. We created lots of big and small buildings and talked about everything that goes into a happy town. We made a hospital, police station, school, shopping mall, bank… and then she jumps up and says, “wait, we need a jcc! Every happy town needs a jcc”!!!

 

I thought it was so touching and poignant in its simplicity. You are a central part of her identity. Her safe and happy space. Every town needs one.


I felt so touched by her comment and just had to share!!"
