The Gahfi Family Names the MBJCC Children & Family Department

We are thrilled to announce that Board member Albert Gahfi and his wife Laya have made a significant Major Gift to the Miami Beach JCC. In recognition of their generosity, the department that serves almost 2,000 children and their families will now be known as the Gahfi Children & Family Department.

 

The Gahfi Children & Family Department is where so many Miami Beach families find their home at the J!

• After-School: Providing a safe and enriching place for children until 6 pm every day, so working parents can count on us
• Enrichments: A full and active schedule of fun, skill-based class offerings throughout the week
• Parent Place: A nurturing experience for child and caregivers to connect and grow together
• Transportation: Bringing children door-to-door from their schools to the J each and every day
• Community Holiday Festivals: Hanukkah Festival, Purim Carnival and Yom Ha’Atzmaut, bringing the community together to celebrate Jewish traditions

 

As a member of our Board of Directors, Albert already helps guide the MBJCC’s vision. His leadership and generosity will make a lasting impact on the future of this community for generations to come.“We are so grateful for the support of Laya and Albert who have so generously stepped up to invest in the Miami Beach JCC. With support from families like the Gahfi family, our future is bright and so much is possible,” says Michelle Benaviv, MBJCC Board Chair.

 

Look for the new Gahfi Children & Family Department name on signage, program materials and at our community celebrations in the coming months.

Please join us in thanking Albert and Laya for this extraordinary investment in the children and families of our community.
