Miami Semicha Program
The French Chabad & Jewish Educational Leadership Institute is a 501(c)3 non for profit organization that was established in 2002, by Rabbi Yisroel and Mrs Louiza Frankforter following the guidance of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Our mission is to facilitate the study of the Jewish Heritage for every Jew in South Florida (and beyond) in the language he or she is most comfortable.
A Home for the French Jewry of Florida
Due to the rising anti-Semitism in France, many Jews feel compelled to relocate. A large amount of French Jews have chosen to make their new home right here in South Florida.
French Chabad under the leadership of Rabbi Frankforter and his wife Mrs. Louiza Frankfortger, and our entire team os there for them.
Our mission is to empower and uplift the growing French Jewish community in South Florida. As anti-Semitism rises in France, many Jews are seeking a new beginning here in Florida. We are here to welcome them with open arms, providing essential social and religious services that help them thrive in their new home. Whether it's creating a sense of belonging, offering support, or fostering a vibrant Jewish life, we are dedicated to ensuring that every French Jew who arrives in South Florida finds a warm and nurturing community ready to embrace them. Together, we are building a brighter, stronger future.
Currently our programs reach French Jews from Key West all the way up to New York.
