Virtual program set for Federation professional affinity groups


The Jewish Federation of Florida’s Gulf Coast will hold a virtual event for the Cardozo, Maimonides, and Montefiore affinity groups on Thursday, Jan. 27 at noon via Zoom.

Community members from the legal, medical, and financial professions will gather virtually to hear from accomplished speakers from their fields, respectively.

This event is free of charge. Interested participants can register at JewishGulfCoast.org/Affinity.

Speakers will be Gary Lesser, president-elect of the Florida Bar; Daniel Ratner, an Israel-based author and motivatuinal speaker; and a representative of the volunteer emergency group, Hatzalah.

“Our Jewish Federation is proud to be reviving the affinity groups of Maimonides Society, Cardozo Society, and Montefiore Society. Once again medical professionals, legal professionals, and professionals in the realm of finance will be invited to band together for the good of our Jewish community,” said Maxine Kaufman, executive director of the Federation.

The Jewish Federation of Florida’s Gulf Coast Maimonides Society is the place for physicians, dentists, nurses and other healthcare professionals – people dedicated to healing the sick and committed to the notion of tikkun olam (repairing the world).

The Cardozo Society welcomes Jewish attorneys, judges, law professionals and law students living in Florida’s Gulf Coast area and aims to celebrate the legal profession’s commitment to the principles of the Federation.

The goal of establishing the Montefiore Society is to develop a sense of camaraderie among Jewish accountants, stockbrokers, bankers, financial planners and advisers, insurance brokers, investment consultants, wealth management advisers and others in financial services across Florida’s Gulf Coast.
