From One Mitzvah A Day: A Jewish server at Origen restaurant in Florida faced antisemitic hate simply for wearing a Star of David. Her employer, restaurant owner Jason Mickool, stood with her and banned the patron responsible. Join us in thanking Mickool for refusing to tolerate antisemitism and showing Jewish employees they deserve to feel safe and supported!

The agenda item strongly denounces antisemitism and terrorism while affirming education, mutual respect, and human dignity as core values of our public schools in order to help students become informed and compassionate citizens.

Student to Student Miami is officially here!

Our inaugural cohort of exceptional student ambassadors met at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach yesterday to hear from Holocaust Survivor, Laszlo Selly, and to learn about Federation and the Memorial’s Education Center.

We look forward to continuing their official orientation and training with Student to Student staff, when they will prepare to engage with their non-Jewish peers on topics like Jewish peoplehood, antisemitism, and Israel.

Criticizing Israeli government policy is legitimate. Anti-Zionism is not. Anti-Zionism denies the Jewish people the right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland and is a modern form of antisemitism. The Miami Herald meticulously explains why.

To hear candidate Oliver Larkin define himself as “anti-Zionist” is jarring — and that’s an understatement given where he’s running. | Opinion
