In a world still reeling from the trauma of October 7, the Genesis Friends for Life Global Foundation is lighting a path forward—uniting communities around healing, remembrance, and hope. This March, the Foundation is hosting two heartfelt events in Florida, bringing together supporters of the global Jewish community for evenings of compassion, connection, and meaningful impact.
From Boca Raton to Miami Beach, these gatherings are more than fundraisers—they are beacons of solidarity for orphans and widows whose lives were shattered by violence. They are also bold affirmations of Jewish pride through the Foundation’s continued sponsorship of the 2025 Maccabiah Games, the largest Jewish athletic event in the world.
Two Nights, One Purpose
The first evening takes place Tuesday, March 25, at the Bocaire Country Club in Boca Raton, followed by a second event on Thursday, March 27, at J’adore on Miami Beach’s iconic Ocean Drive. Each night offers more than cocktails and hors d’oeuvres—it offers a chance to stand with the most vulnerable members of our global family.
Adding to the excitement in Boca Raton, the March 25th event will host three celebrated Paris Olympic medalists as special guests: Inbar Lanir (Judo silver medalist), Raz Hershko (Judo silver medalist), and Timna Nelson-Levy (Judo bronze medalist). Their presence not only honors excellence in sport but also embodies the spirit of resilience and Jewish pride that defines both the Maccabiah Games and the Genesis mission.
Proceeds from these events will directly support:
Orphans and bereaved families impacted by the October 7 attacks, including the 100 orphans sponsored by Genesis Friends for Life to attend the games
The Maccabiah Games, which this July will welcome over 10,000 Jewish athletes from more than 80 countries to Israel
A Bridge Between Remembrance and Resilience
For Genesis Friends for Life, the Maccabiah Games support is about more than athletics. It’s a declaration of identity, unity, and perseverance. As Amiel David Aviman, co-founder of Genesis, shares: “Our mission is rooted in healing the heart of the Jewish people. By standing with both the bereaved and the champions of Jewish continuity, we are bridging grief with hope and helping to build a better future.”
That bridge—between sorrow and strength—is the essence of Genesis. Whether aiding children in need or celebrating the power of Jewish heritage on the global stage, the Foundation stands firm in its dual commitment to remembrance and resilience.
Co-founder Ranny Yarom echoes this conviction: “Supporting the Maccabiah is a way to honor Jewish perseverance while we care for those who are grieving. Both efforts reflect who we are.”
Hope That Moves Us Forward
The Foundation’s sponsorship of the Maccabiah Games is not just about sports—it’s a message to every Jewish child, parent, and community member: You are not alone. From the legacy of Olympic champions to the quiet courage of grieving families, this moment is about honoring life and holding each other up.
We at Genesis Greater Good are proud to share this message. We believe that healing comes when we gather—not just to mourn but to move forward together.
