Join other members of the South Florida community at a service to pray for the safe return of three Israeli students kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, and to express solidarity with the hostages’ families on Tuesday, June 24, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Michael Ann Russell Jewish Community Center in North Miami Beach.

The program is being convened by the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and its Jewish Community Relations Council, together with the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami and area synagogues. Hundreds of people are expected to attend.

Earlier this week, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation issued a statement on the kidnapping of the 16- and 19-year-olds, saying in part: “The people of Israel have seen too many times the devastating impact of terrorism, which has also included the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers. The abduction of three young civilians – one with dual Israeli-American citizenship – makes this heartbreaking situation all the more intolerable. We know that the government of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces are doing everything in their power to locate and safely rescue Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with the government and people of Israel in support of their critical mission.”

The Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center is located at 18900 NE 25th Avenue, North Miami Beach.  For further information about the Community Solidarity Prayer Service, please call 305.576.4000, ext. 486, or visit JewishMiami.org.
