Greater Miami Jewish Federation Hosts Miami Jewish Film Festival


An alumnus of the University of Florida, Joshua Wander founded SuttonPark Capital and 777 Partners, both found in Miami. Outside of the office, Joshua Wander supports several charities, including the Greater Miami Jewish Foundation.

Established more than 75 years ago, the Greater Miami Jewish Foundation unites the Jewish community in Miami-Dade County. It raises money each year to fund local agencies, including Jewish day schools, synagogues, and community centers. It also strives to establish a strong foundation on college campuses and in communities across the country.

To reach out to people in the community, the Greater Miami Jewish Foundation sponsors a variety of events during the year. One of these is the 21st annual Miami Jewish Film Festival, which occurs on January 11-25, 2018, at the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center in Aventura, Florida. First begun in 1996, the festival typically draws 23, 000 people, making it one of the world’s largest Jewish film festivals. It is also the largest Jewish cultural event in the southeastern part of the United States.
