NCJW Miami's Mother's Day Luncheon celebrating immigrants will take place on Wednesday, May 9, 2018, at Temple Israel, and will begin at 11 a.m.

This is an event for mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, grandmothers and great grandmothers.

With the school year being almost over at the time of our event, we thought that daughters in school might be able to miss a day for this important and special occasion.

Host committee members are asked to bring 4-5 people to the event. Tickets are $54 for members, and $72 for non-members.*

*A NCJW Annual Membership is currently $40, and non-members may contribute an additional $22 to become a member when they purchase their ticket.

Following is some additional information:

We are beyond thrilled to honor Robin Straus for her many years of time and devotion to NCJW Miami and our community, with The Myra Farr Volunteer Service Award.

This important and meaningful event will be a celebration of immigrants. Our guest speaker is Ruth Behar, and our lunch will be prepared with love by the Syrian women refugees of Zaytouna.

Ruth Behar is a Jewish Cuban immigrant, who won The 2018 Pura Belpré Award for her book, "Lucky Broken Girl".

In "Lucky Broken Girl", Behar draws from her childhood experience to tell a story that celebrates Latinx experience while affirming the resilience of children facing both universal and specific challenges.

Zaytouna was founded on a single gesture of gratitude. It is a conscious driven enterprise whose mission is to help women resettle in South Florida by creating permanent gainful employment by producing delicious packaged foods from the Middle East. They simply believe that food can bridge the cultural divides that separate us.

We hope to see you on May 9! Questions? Contact Amy Bloom at amybloom@ncjwgms.org or 305.607.9028.

Bet Shira Congregation in southwest Miami-Dada County at 7500 S.W. 120th Street, Pinecrest, recognizes the great importance of community involvement and providing educational opportunities in Learning. Bet Shira has established an Annual Memorial Lecture Series in honor of the Late Rabbi David H. Auerbach, who was the Founding Rabbi Emeritus of Bet Shira Congregation.

The lecture this year will be presented this Sunday, March 25, 2018, at 11:00 A.M. in the Synagogue by guest speaker, Rabbi Mitch Chefitz on the topic: Abraham, Jochanan ben Zakkai, and Us: Three Pivotal Moments in Jewish History.

Recently his narrative poetry framed the performance of The Jewish Bride at the Arsht Center. Known nationally as an author, locally Mitch Chefitz is also known as a Rabbi, first at Temple Beth Am, then with the Havurah of South Florida, and lastly at Temple Israel of Greater Miami. He has been president of the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami, and also chairperson of the National Havurah Committee. Rabbi Chefitz is a graduate of Berkeley and also stood bridge watches as a Navy Lieutenant on a destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin. Now, most Sunday mornings he spends time at the Pinecrest Market.

"Bet Shira Congregation established the Annual Lecture Series when Robert and Michele Stone provided a gift to permanently endow the Rabbi David H. Auerbachz’l Annual Memorial Lecture. This endowment gift will ensure the legacy of Rabbi Auerbachz’l and recognize Rabbi Auerbach's distinguished career dedicated to Torah and the Jewish Community,” said Rabbi Mark H.
