In light of these events, please know that we have taken proactive steps to enhance the safety and security of our community here at the MBJCC. This includes the Miami Beach Police Department, our dedicated private security team, the JCC Association, and resources from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation’s Security Office.
All parties are on the highest alert to provide an extra “safety watch” over our MBJCC and the broader Jewish community. It is important to emphasize that no direct threats to our local community have been made. Nonetheless, we believe in staying proactive and vigilant, ensuring the safety of our members and guests.
Here at the Miami Beach JCC, we are also reminded of the strength we derive by coming together as a community. Now more than ever, we understand the role that our J plays in maintaining a strong Jewish community where we can remain connected to one another and feel proud of our Jewish heritage. That is why we have remained committed to bringing you, our members, patrons, and guests quality classes, programs, and experiences.

New Art Exhibit
Yesterday, October 10th, we held an opening to a special group exhibit with the message - Age is just a number in the realm of art! The art exhibit features the awe-inspiring works of Karen Bibas and an incredible group of local artists aged 73-104.
This art show is a testament to the therapeutic prowess of art and its potential to transcend generations. At the heart of this transformative journey is Karen Bibas, a visionary visual artist and dedicated Art Teacher whose influence extends across institutions like Miami Jewish Health, Imperial Club, and the JCC in Aventura.
To those who joined us, thank you, and if you missed it, you can walk the gallery anytime and immerse yourself in this therapeutic world where colors and imagination remind us that age is just a number. Come and witness firsthand the Healing Power of Art.
