Federation has launched its 2024 Miami-Dade Jewish Community Study! Commissioned every 10 years by the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and conducted this year by the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University, in partnership with NORC at the University of Chicago, an independent research institution, this study seeks to gather actionable data for Federation and all of our community organizations. The data will provide a dynamic understanding of how many Jewish families and individuals call Miami-Dade home as well as where there are gaps in Jewish communal programming and services, or barriers to affiliation and participation in our Jewish life. In the coming weeks, you may be contacted by letter, phone or email with an invitation to participate in the survey. Invitation letters will have logos for NORC and Brandeis University and will be titled the “Miami-Dade Jewish Community Study” or the “Miami-Dade Speaks! Study.” Because this is a scientific survey with a defined sample frame, not everyone will receive one of these calls or emails. If you receive an invitation, participation is encouraged and all responses are completely confidential. Data collection is expected to continue through early May. Final results will be shared in the fall.
