“Now more than ever, we need to feel supported and united as a community; we need infrastructure to support the vibrant Jewish life that continues to grow in Miami’s urban core, and we need a place to ground growing families. Now is the time to create a sense of permanence and sustainability for our community. The vision for the Center for Jewish Life Miami gives us hope that there will be an anchor in the urban core for Jewish life to flourish for generations to come.”

“Now is the time to focus resources on creating a safe and inspiring campus for Jewish people and our allies. Let’s do this now. Let’s do this together. Let’s create a beautiful home away from home that nurtures our bodies and souls, educates our minds, and provides a spring board for serving a wide range of individuals in need.”

“The Center for Jewish Life is an important project for the Jewish community. It is located in the center of Greater Miami, where the demographics show a growing, young Jewish population. What a great asset to have on one convenient campus a Jewish Day School, a Jewish Community Center and a spiritual center!”

“Our family has been part of Beth David since the 1920’s! Our children, Elysa, Rachel and Craig are 4th generation Beth Davidites and among the first wave of students to attend the Gordon School from 18 months through 5th grade. The Center for Jewish Life will ensure that Beth David remains the central address of the Jewish community where we can learn, pray, and play for generations to come!”

“Our children are third- generation Miami natives. They grew up in Coconut Grove and attended the Gordon Schools. Beth David has always been our one-stop shop for Jewish spiritual and mental fulfillment. We know that The Center for Jewish Life will make a great thing even greater! We weren’t able to provide this trifecta for our children, but we’re thrilled to help ensure that it will be there for the next generation!.”

“I was born into Beth David over sixty years ago. Through the years, I’ve celebrated so many special moments here with my family and friends. Lucie and I are pleased to be members here together for 30 years. I wish nothing more than that other, younger members are blessed with the involvement and experiences that will provide them their own wonderful memories at The Center for Jewish Life in the years to come.”

“It has been an honor to participate on the Advisory Board for The Center for Jewish Life. The growing needs of the Jewish community in the Central Miami area are clear evidence that its time to modernize, enhance, and grow our facilities and programming. I want history to show we demonstrated dedication and responded to the need by building a top-notch facility supporting the needs of our educators and, most important, our students in decades to come. To be a part of this undertaking is a tremendous privilege.”

“Arlene’s grandparents were among the small group that founded Beth David. Even as the congregation swelled over generations, innovation and vitality often depended on committed members acting individually and collaboratively. Our involvement in developing the Tikvah Center has reaffirmed for us that this remains true today. What a few people have accomplished to benefit so many children and their families is just one example of what we all can contribute to now and in the future.”
