North Broward has a robust and thriving Jewish community composed of multi-generational families. In order to best serve this growing population, the Jewish Federation of Broward County decided to develop the North Broward Community, with an office located in West Parkland. The North Broward Community focuses on partnering with the many existing synagogues and Jewish organizations in the area, in an effort to engage local residents in their Jewish community and enrich their own Jewish life. The North Broward ‘boundaries’ are considered to begin at Margate, west of 441, and extending all the way to Parkland.

A North Broward Initiative Committee is being developed with members representing various areas, ages, and Jewish backgrounds that will work together to create programs and events for the North Broward Community. These programs and events will work to enrich and engage, while also serving the overarching goal of raising money for our local and global Jewish community.

Israel Trauma Coalition / MSD Recovery:

Upon the one-year anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy, the Federation brought back the Israel Trauma Coalition (ITC) to support the North Broward community. Twenty of the leading trauma clinicians in Broward were trained in the ITC model and as part of a three-day trainer cohort. ITC leaders also delivered the keynote address at the 5th Annual Broward Behavioral Health Conference and worked with parents, caregivers, teachers and policymakers from across our community.
