This year Festival Yachad turns 14 years old, and will be celebrating Jewish Women, therefore the gala’s theme is “Nashim”, which in Hebrew means “Women”.

Modern women such as Ofra Haza, Naomi Shemer and Sarit Haddad will be honored as well. “It is a wonderful way to educate our children about their heritage, while they perform our Jewish Traditions”, explains, Nicole Papu, Festival Yachad Co-Chair. “Festival Yachad is sponsored by Safra National Bank of New York and it is a pleasure for us to be associated with such a strong financial institution, that provides us with the support we need to bring this event to audiences in both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties”, added Esther Fuhrman, Festival Yachad Co-Chair.
