What a day! Wednesday's Heart Health Day was unforgettable, filled with warmth, wellness, and waves of red. A big shoutout to everyone who joined us in the Boich Family Lobby for treats, tea, and the beautiful Jacqui’s Pearls Pop-Up Shop.

Our hearts were truly pumping with our lineup of fitness classes! A massive shoutout to everyone who joined us for:

S.W.E.A.T with Michelle S.

Core Power Yoga with Michael T.

TRX with Courtney L. & Michelle S.

Cycle with Amanda H.

Your energy and commitment to heart health and wellness were truly inspiring. It was great to see everyone rocking their red (and pinks), showing support, and raising awareness for heart health.

Community Happenings

Miami-Dade Jewish Community Study

Please respond when you get the letter, phone, or email

with an invitation to participate in the survey.

The purpose of this email is to help local organizations inform their members about the study at the time of the survey launch.

Recognizing the need for valid and actionable data that serves the entire community, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, with the support of local Jewish agencies, schools and synagogues, is conducting a study of the Jewish community in Miami-Dade County. For information about this study visit https://jewishmiami.org/communitystudy, or contact the Federation at 305-576-4000 or communitystudy@gmjf.org.

This study is being conducted by an experienced research team at the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University and NORC at the University of Chicago.

Starting in February, you may be contacted by letter, phone, or email with an invitation to participate in the survey. Invitation letters will have logos for NORC and Brandeis. Email messages will be sent from NORC at Miami-Dade Jewish Community Study at MiamiJewishStudy@norc.org OR Miami-Dade Speaks Community Study at MiamiStudy@norc.org. Phone calls will come from NORC, phone number 312-871-4255.

The invitation you receive may be titled the “Miami-Dade Jewish Community Study” or the “Miami-Dade Speaks! Study.” These two studies are identical and you may respond to either invitation that you receive. Because this is a scientific survey with a defined sample frame, you may not receive one of these calls or emails; however, if you do, we encourage you to respond and participate in this important project.

Thank you for your cooperation.
