Federation Statement Welcoming the Ceasefire Agreement
Posted by Lauren Gold on 10/09/2025 @ 12:16 PM
Greater Miami Jewish Federation, its JCRC and the RAGM welcome the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas | October 9, 2025
With tremendous joy and relief, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, its Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami (RAGM) welcome the announcement that Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza that, if goes as planned, will result in the release of all remaining hostages as soon as this weekend. We are grateful for President Trump’s intervention to bring about the presumed beginning of an end to a long war perpetrated by Iranian-backed extremists and responsible for two years of unnecessary suffering.
We wish the surviving hostages a refuah shlema (speedy recovery). Their fortitude in the face of 733 days of extreme mental and physical torture is a testament to the strength of the Israeli and the Jewish people. We remind the world of why the war was waged in the first place: On Oct. 7, 2023, Israel was invaded by thousands of terrorists who wished to murder Jews and annihilate Israel. During the unwarranted invasion, they took the lives of 1,200 innocent people, almost entirely civilians, and kidnapped 251 more.
Upon the return of the hostages, we look forward to learning more about the details about the peace agreement which needs to ultimately include the full disarmament of Hamas. Removing all weaponry from a terror organization that has ruthlessly targeted not only innocent Israelis but also its own people for decades is an integral moral and strategic step toward permanent peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
We remain cautiously optimistic in the coming days and weeks for an end to the war and a lasting peace. Am Yisrael Chai.

MJFF Israeli Film Night Series Finale "Air War"
Posted by Lauren Gold on 09/22/2025 @ 10:45 AM
Sunday, September 28 | 4 PM
The Miami Jewish Film Festival presents a one-night-only screening of MJFF 2025 Audience Award-Winner Air War. In a moment when over 4,000 film industry professionals worldwide have signed a petition to boycott Israel and silence its filmmakers, the Israeli Film Series has been our powerful statement of solidarity —standing proudly with Israeli artists and their fundamental freedom of expression.
An epic fifteen years in the making, Air War is Israel’s exhilarating answer to Top Gun, a heartfelt, adrenaline-charged box office phenomenon that brings the Israeli Air Force to the big screen like never before. The film follows a fearless young lieutenant whose daring heroics — shooting down six Egyptian MiGs single-handedly — earn him command of a fighter squadron on the eve of the Six-Day War. With breathtaking aerial sequences, soaring emotions and a story that honors Israel’s revered IAF pilots, Air War promises a cinematic experience as inspiring as it is pulse-pounding.
