Dear Miami Beach JCC Community,
We all continue to be deeply concerned and saddened by the horrible situation in Israel. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those directly affected by the ongoing conflict, and we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel during this crisis.
In light of these unsettling events, our Miami Beach JCC has taken proactive and necessary steps to enhance the safety and security of our local community. We have expanded our security team by hiring additional armed personnel and have ramped up our collaboration with the Miami Beach Police Department, who have been true partners in our community safety efforts. We are also grateful for the ongoing support from the JCC Association and resources from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation's Security Office.
These important but unanticipated security measures are costly and represent a significant use of our agency’s resources. Because of this, we have created an “Enhanced Security Fund” to assist with covering these costs. We ask that, if you are able, to please consider donating towards these important efforts. A donation of any amount helps to keep our community safe. A gift of $1,800 will cover the cost of one security guard for approximately two weeks. When making your donation, please select the “Enhanced Security Fund”.
Now more than ever, we recognize the crucial role that our Miami Beach JCC plays in maintaining a strong, interconnected Jewish community. We are committed to making a positive impact by providing high-quality classes, programs, and experiences that keep us connected to and proud of our Jewish heritage.

We are Powered by Community. Am Yisrael Chai! | |
