BOOK CLUB

Join our monthly WIZO Book Club for a stimulating, educational, and social afternoon!

Headed by Rose Schreiber, the Book Club meets at Books & Books in the Bal Harbour shops, but during the Pandemic, the meetings are being held via Zoom.

MIZO

MIZO membership is for men who wish to support the State of Israel through WIZO. MIZO events are currently being planned so that men can have the same experience of networking, personal growth and working with one another while raising much needed funds for WIZO projects for families, children and women in need. Please contact us to be part of this exciting group for men.

COMMUNITY BAT MITZVAH

A Bat Mitzvah is a major and memorable milestone. WIZO has created a magnificent Bat Mitzvah program that provides an unforgettable experience. A team of devoted educators and organizers spend months preparing each and every Bat Mitzvah girl for their big day. The girls learn about tzedakah and create fundraising projects to raise money to send to Israel to sponsor the Bar and Bat Mitzvah Program for WIZO kids, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to celebrate this important day. During the months of preparation, each Bat Mitzvah is learning Jewish values and traditions and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The Community Bat Mitzvah has become so popular that WIZO currently has 2 Bat Mitzvah Programs. One in Dade, headed by Carla Fischbach and Yvette Woldenberg, and one in Broward, headed by Claudia Cusnir.

AVIV

Chaired by Dori Shwirtz, AVIV is WIZO’s young leadership initiative. It is formed by the Teen Clubs (North, South, West), Nefesh, Atid and Zorahat chapters.

These chapters represent the younger generation and constitute the future leaders of our organization! Starting from an early age our members learn the importance of contributing to Israeli society and create many exciting activities to strengthen the bond between the State of Israel and our Jewish community here in Florida while raising much-needed funds for our WIZO centers in Israel. WIZO holds local activities and international seminars to encourage young leadership.
