Join the Miami Jewish community for the annual commemoration ceremony honoring the lives of the AMIA victims, hosted by American Jewish Committee (AJC) in partnership with local Jewish organizations and institutions.
The AMIA bombing was the attack on the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) building in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 18, 1994, that took the lives of 85 people and injured hundreds. The event honors the victims with a candle-lighting ceremony including representatives from our community organizations.
The 29th Anniversary Program will include:
Keynote Speakers
- Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee (AJC)
- Amos Linetzky, President of AMIA, Argentina
Special Guests
- Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County
- Leandro Fernandez Suarez, Consul General of Argentina in Miami
- Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, Consul General of Israel in Miami
AMIA Exhibit “Ese Dia/That Day”
In conjunction with the AMIA Bombing Anniversary Memorial Event on July 12, we will have a special, temporary exhibit, “Ese Dia/That Day.” The exhibit contains photos of the survivors printed on recycled paper from 1994 - the year of the bombing. The exhibit will be on display in the lobby of Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus for a limited time. It can be viewed before and after the event. We encourage you to arrive early for the event to allow time for security and parking, so you can view the exhibit at that time. Our thanks to the Consulate General of Argentina for the loan of this exhibit, which was created by AMIA – Argentina Jewish Center.
