Dear Valued JCC Member,

L’Shana Tova to you and your family!

On behalf of the Galbut Family Miami Beach JCC on the Simkins Family Campus, we want to wish you and your family a safe, healthy, and prosperous Jewish New Year.

As the center of Jewish life on Miami Beach, we are proud of the positive impact that we continue to make within our community. We now serve nearly 5,800 individuals annually, including over 600 Summer Camp Klurman campers, 1,200 participants in sports and enrichments, 500 in group fitness, and 1,800 arts and culture audience members. Needless to say, our Miami Beach JCC is bustling with activity!

And we can do so much more! As the overall Miami Beach community continues to grow and evolve, our Miami Beach JCC must and will continue to grow. Following a comprehensive Agency Strategic Planning process, we have begun implementation of key initiatives, including the launching of an Early Childhood Academy and Parenting Center, elevating our Arts & Culture offerings to be a major cultural hub on Miami Beach, expanding our Youth & Teen programming, enhancing the MBJCC Membership experience, and more.

How can we accomplish all of this? We are powered by community!

Please consider supporting our Miami Beach JCC by making a meaningful tax-deductible contribution during this holiday season. Every dollar counts. Visit mbjcc.org/donate or contact Karen Sepsenwol at karen@mbjcc.org to discuss how you and your family can impact our community.

L’Shana Tova,
