WEBINAR: Thursday, November 2, 8-9:15 PM

Join Moving Traditions for an honest one-hour conversation about how parents and teens can keep talking about the war in Israel and Gaza even as we may find ourselves with very different sources of information, peer groups, and possible responses to the ongoing war.

Moving Traditions CEO Shuli Karkowsky will sit down with a panel of experts to talk about the psychology behind how teens process the news, strategies to foster discussion when you agree and when you don't, and how to set boundaries for discourse and root those boundaries in love. The panel will include: • Dr. Julie Hirschfeld, a psychologist and parent coach • Dr. Jonathan Golden, Director of Drew University’s Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict • Rabbi Daniel Brenner, Moving Traditions' VP of Education • Emily Levine, a Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellow who attends Scarsdale High School in NY and Westchester Reform Temple

The horrific, unprovoked attack by Hamas terrorists on October 7 brought massive devastation, destruction and death to more than 1,400 innocent people, and more than 200 Israelis are still being held hostage in Gaza. The people of Israel are fighting for the safety and security of our Jewish homeland, nothing less.

It is important to know that the Jewish people are not alone right now and that we have the support of all people of good will, and — in particular — the men and women who represent us. Please join our four South Florida Federations and other Jewish community organizations for an opportunity to hear firsthand from our communities’ elected officials at this critical moment.

Federation’s community commemoration of Kristallnacht – The Night of Broken Glass – at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach marks the start of Holocaust Education Week. “With the war in Israel and the meteoric rise in antisemitism worldwide, now is the time for the Jewish community to gather in solidarity,” said Jessica Katz, Chair of the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach. Kristallnacht, considered a major turning point in Hitler’s campaign to annihilate the Jewish people, was marked by attacks on Jews in Germany and Austria on November 9-10, 1938. The community will assemble to hear the testimony of eyewitnesses to Kristallnacht, pay tribute to Holocaust victims and honor the courage and resilience of Survivors. In memory of our Israeli brothers and sisters who were murdered in the horrific Hamas attacks that began on October 7. Location: Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, 1933-1945 Meridian Avenue, Miami Beach

The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach is a Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.

As a public act of solidarity, with the over 200 hostages abducted by Hamas during its attack on Israel on October 7, the Jewish Federations of North America and 165 partner organizations launched the Blue Ribbons for Israel campaign, asking people across the world to wear their support for these innocent victims on their shirts and display their support on their social media platforms.

Send a powerful message of solidarity by wearing your ribbon.

Wearing a ribbon publicly unites you with people of all religions, races, nationalities, ethnicities, ages and generations, and demonstrates for the people of Israel that they are not alone and that good people across the globe are with them and their families during this dark time.
