Join Run for Their Lives, Loving Moms United, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and more than 75 other organizations for a solidarity walk in Aventura to call for the release of the hostages in Gaza. In response to last weekend’s horrific terror attack in Boulder, CO, Jewish Miami will gather to walk around the Aventura Circle and mark 610 days of captivity. Now, more than ever, we must come together, raise our voices against violent antisemitism and show that hate will not divide us; it will only make us louder, prouder and stronger. There will be a strong presence of law enforcement at this event.

Walk with us. Stand with us. Be #JewishMiamiProud and show what unity looks like.

Meet at Aventura Circle sidewalk, next to Macy's parking lot.

Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into standup comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics that he always manages to bring up (just did it!) His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He’s performed on the Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the Comedy Central Half Hour and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today. He is the creator of the webcomic and puzzle app, Monday Punday.

Beverages and light bites will be available for purchase beginning at 6:30 PM before the show.

Tickets: $28 premium seating/$18 standard seating, no drink minimum
