Jewish Miami came together at The Main Event, where the Greater Miami Jewish Federation debuted its new Jewish Miami Proud video to a record-breaking crowd of 1,700.

The video is part of a brand-new campaign that shows how people of all ages in Miami’s diverse community “Do Jewish” and invites everyone to share what makes them #JewishMiamiProud. Inspired by this and so much more, guests generously contributed $4.3 million to the 2025 Federation Campaign.

Participants repeatedly rose to their feet to applaud performances by Eden Golan, Matisyahu and Montana Tucker, along with a frank and fascinating discussion about anti-Israel rhetoric and skyrocketing antisemitism by Michael Rapaport, Bari Weiss and Dan Senor.

Also on stage that evening were survivors and bereaved family members of the Nova Music Festival Massacre, including Ofir Amir, one of the Festival founders, who recounted his harrowing experiences on October 7.
