As the sun sets over Miami Beach on the eve of America’s 250th birthday, we will gather in the sacred rhythm of Shabbat—a pause for gratitude, reflection, and hope.

This year, Independence Day arrives alongside Parashat Pinchas, a Torah portion that speaks of legacy and the passing of responsibility from one generation to the next. Moses, standing at the edge of a new chapter, asks not what he will leave behind, but who will carry the story forward.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a young nation began its journey. For generations, America has offered countless people—including Jewish immigrants seeking freedom, opportunity, and belonging—a place to build lives, families, and communities.

As Jews, we know that freedom is never merely a destination. It is a sacred trust. We inherit it, cherish it, strengthen it, and pass it on.

On this special Shabbat, we will celebrate the blessings of liberty and the light of our tradition. We will lift our voices in prayer and song, give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy, and reflect on the values that unite us: faith, justice, compassion, and community.

Join us for an evening of warmth, music, friendship, and a festive Oneg as we honor both the American story and the enduring Jewish journey.

Liberty & Light: An American Shabbat

🇺🇸 Celebrating 250 Years of the United States

May the light of Shabbat inspire us to be worthy stewards of the freedoms we have inherited and faithful builders of the future we will leave to those who come after us.

All are welcome.

Some people lead with their voices. Some lead with their wisdom. Some lead with their hearts.

Rabbi Cantor Rachelle Nelson has blessed our Kehillah with all three.

On Friday, July 10th, we invite you to join us for a special Shabbat as we celebrate Rabbi Cantor Rachelle’s birthday and give thanks for the joy, music, compassion, and inspiration she brings to our community each and every week.

For many of us, Friday evenings have become something we look forward to all week because of the warmth, spirit, wisdom, humor, and beautiful music that Rabbi Cantor Rachelle brings to Kehillah on the Beach of Cuban Hebrew Congregation.

Through her leadership, she has helped create a Kehillah that feels like family—a place where tradition, friendship, spirituality, and community come together.

Following services, Rabbi Cantor Rachelle will graciously sponsor a special Birthday Oneg, giving us an opportunity to celebrate her and enjoy the sweetness of Shabbat together.

🎉 Join us as we offer blessings for health, happiness, and many years of continued leadership, music, and inspiration.

Quiero presentarles un avance de lo que será el documental  “Por la Vida y la Esperanza”, en hebreo “Lechain veHatikvah”, que esperamos esté concluido para finales de este año o principios del próximo. El objetivo de este documental es que no se pierda el esfuerzo realizado por la Comunidad Hebrea Cubana de los años 60, que construyeron este templo tan especial y que guarda tantos recuerdos de nuestros familiares, de los que hoy estamos, y de los que ya no están junto a nosotros. No podemos aceptar, bajo ningún concepto, que esto que se edificó con tanto esmero y sacrificio, sea reemplazado por cualquier otra edificación.  No hablo en mi nombre, hablo en nombre de todos nosotros, los que deseamos que se mantenga este legado para las próximas generaciones.

Muchas Gracias, 

Roberto Koltun, Director
