Miami's Leo Martin March of the Living

Our Goal: $18,000 to Bring Holocaust Survivors on the 2026 March of the Living

Since 1988, CAJE’s Miami Leo Martin March of the Living has empowered Jewish high school students to explore the history of the Holocaust, confront the roots of prejudice, and celebrate Jewish resilience and pride. 

In both 2024 and 2025, the program travels to Poland only due to ongoing circumstances. While we hope to once again include Israel in 2026, we know from experience that a Poland-only journey is profoundly meaningful. It grounds students in Jewish history, deepens their identity, and provides an unforgettable foundation for their Jewish lives.

Our mission remains stronger than ever: to prepare Jewish teens with a profound understanding of their history, a deep sense of pride, and a strengthened connection to Israel. Through this immersive experience, we equip our teens to stand firm against antisemitism, advocate for Israel, and navigate challenges they may face on college campuses and beyond.

This year, we are raising $18,000, which will cover half the cost of bringing two Holocaust Survivors on this journey. We are committed to ensuring they can travel with kavod (honor) and dignity, receiving the care and respect they deserve every step of the way. For many students, this will be the last opportunity to hear directly from those who lived through history — an encounter that deeply shapes their understanding and commitment to remembrance.

With your support, we will continue to nurture Jewish pride and resilience in our youth, fostering a generation of leaders ready to uphold our values and stand against prejudice. Thank you for standing with us in this essential mission.
