Friend and supporter of CAJE, Rita Spector, has launched a social and communal online (and beyond) network called: The Rita Spector Connector. Rita describes "the Connector" as “A Community of Women 50+ Focusing on Life, Health & Wellness, Travel, and JOY.”
Last week Rita’s featured guest, with a focus on spirituality, was our own head of CAJE, Rabbi Efrat Zarren-Zohar.
Busy at the helm of an Agency, the spotlight rarely falls on Rabbi Zarren-Zohar, but occasionally, when she can step away from managing, meeting, and working budgets, she gets the chance to share insightful reflection and ruminations on matters of the spirit.
We are grateful to Rita for this opportunity, and for her commitment to making the world happier, healthier, and more peaceful, by one woman 50+ at a time!
Join Rita and Rabbi for a discussion of "The I-Thou Relationship" (Spiritual vs. Transactional) inspired by the writings of Martin Buber.

Two weeks ago, Miami teens and staff traveled to Poland as part of CAJE’s Leo Martin March of the Living. Students described the experience as “life changing,” “meaningful,” and “unforgettable,” with nearly all participants sharing that the journey had a significant impact on them. In Kraków, students walked through once-vibrant Jewish neighborhoods, encountering the richness and diversity of Jewish life before the war. At Majdanek, Auschwitz, and Birkenau, they bore witness to the realities of the Holocaust, standing in the very places where history unfolded.

Through CAJE Miami’s Pedagogy of Partnership (PoP) initiative, Jewish day school classrooms are being transformed, becoming more collaborative, student-centered, and rooted in meaningful dialogue. This year, the program spans multiple schools and grade levels, engaging 200 students, 14 teachers, and 3 school leaders in building a shared culture of learning. At the heart of PoP is chavruta— a traditional Jewish learning practice in which two learners partner to explore texts through questioning, discussion, and shared thinking. More than just working in pairs, chavruta builds responsibility, listening, and the ability to develop and challenge ideas together.

CAJE Adult Learning is proud to partner with Miami New Drama to present The Zionists: A Family Storm, a powerful new play by S. Asher Gelman. Set at a luxury resort in Turks and Caicos as a hurricane bears down, the play brings the Rosenberg family together just as buried tensions around identity, faith, politics, and belonging erupt, testing the bonds that hold them together. At its core, The Zionists is a family drama about an argument many Jewish families are living through right now: how to relate to Israel in the aftermath of October 7 and during the ongoing Gaza war. As the storm closes in, the family’s reunion becomes a fierce and deeply personal confrontation between competing moral, political, and emotional responses to this moment.
