A welcome from the community
The Greater Miami Jewish Federation runs Shalom Miami for people new to Miami-Dade County. Newcomers can register online or call 786-866-8498 to learn about Jewish programs, services, volunteering and events. The welcome is offered in English, Spanish and Hebrew.
Finding a synagogue
The Federation keeps a directory of synagogues and rabbis across Miami-Dade, from Orthodox and Chabad to Conservative and Reform. Our Jewish life section lists synagogues in Miami and nearby towns, each with a link to its source.
Kosher food
Kosher Miami, the Vaad HaKashrus of Miami-Dade, certifies restaurants, bakeries, caterers and markets in the area and publishes its list of certified establishments. Certification can change, so check the current certificate before you rely on it. The Federation also lists kosher markets and food resources on its Shalom Miami pages.
Help at home
For meals for frail or homebound people, the Federation points to Jewish Community Services of South Florida: 305-576-6550. For other questions, the Federation can be reached at 305-576-4000.
