With more than 300 women in attendance, this year’s event celebrated the 36th anniversary of the creation of the Lion of Judah program. In recognition of the occasion, the Miami-Dade County Commission declared November 1, 2007 as “Greater Miami Jewish Federation Lion of Judah Day.”
The Lion of Judah program was established in Miami in 1972 to recognize women’s philanthropy. Today, more than 14,000 women throughout North America, Israel and around the world proudly wear their Lion of Judah pins as a symbol of their commitment to the Federation/UJA Campaign. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation now raises more than $25 million annually to help Jews in need in Miami, in Israel and in 60 countries worldwide.
