This Was Netanyahu At His Best - Uncompromising, Unapologetic, And Resolute In The Face Of Global Hypocrisy And Hate Jewish Connection News Oct 23, 2025 ZOA National President Morton “Mort” Klein, Expressed His Reaction To Israeli PM Netanyahu’s Address At The United Nations Today, That The Speech Was The PM’s Most Forceful And Churchillian Address Yet. Klein shared: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his most forceful and Churchillian address yet at the United Nations today. In a sweeping and unflinching speech, he exposed the grotesque lies accusing Israel of genocide, starvation, and illegal occupation. He called them what they are: modern blood libels rooted in the same antisemitic hatred that once falsely accused Jews of murdering Christian children for rituals or poisoning wells during the Middle Ages. These are not legitimate criticisms. They are propaganda fueled by hate. For the first time in such a comprehensive way, Netanyahu dismantled the myth that Palestinian leaders are peace-seeking moderates. He revealed how both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority glorify Terrorism. They pay lifetime salaries to those who murder Jews. The more Jews killed, the higher the payout. They name schools and streets after terrorists, use the same textbooks as Hamas to incite hatred, and raise children to idolize killers. He reminded the world that Palestinian crowds celebrated the October 7th atrocities with candy and cheers. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel’s war is part of a broader conflict. Islamist terror does not only target Israel. It also targets the United States and the West. These regimes repeatedly chant "Death to Israel" and "Death to America." They openly declare their goal to destroy the Jews, whom they call the “Saturday people” and then move on to kill the Christians, the “Sunday people.” He condemned the dangerous fantasy of granting statehood to jihadist murderers. He warned it would reward Terrorism and encourage more bloodshed. Over 90 percent of Israelis and the vast majority of the Knesset oppose this because it would directly threaten Israel’s survival. He strongly criticized the weakness of nations that fold under jihadist threats instead of standing firm. Appeasement, he warned, only invites more violence. As Winston Churchill said, "Those who appease the crocodile will simply be eaten last." Netanyahu closed with a clear message. Israel has already severely weakened Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and the Houthis. The war will not end until Hamas is destroyed as a threat. Victory is close. And with that victory comes the real hope of a more peaceful and prosperous Middle East. This was Netanyahu at his best. Uncompromising, unapologetic, and resolute in the face of global hypocrisy and hate.” Morton A. Klein Morton A. Klein serves as national President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the United States, founded in 1897. He also serves as a member of the National Council of AIPAC and is widely regarded as one of the leading Jewish activists in the United States. He is a child of Holocaust survivors, born in a displaced persons camp in Gunzberg, Germany. Founded in 1897, the Zionist Organization of America is the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States. The ZOA works towards strengthening US-Israeli relations through educational activities, public affairs programs, advocating on Capitol Hill, and by combating anti-Israel bias in the media, textbooks, and on campuses. The ZOA is dedicated to educating the public, elected officials, media, and college/high school students about the truth of the ongoing and relentless Arab-Islamic War against Israel and the Jewish people.

This Season’s Lineup Features God Of Carnage By Yasmina Reza, The Inheritance, Part Two By Matthew Lopez, Pippin By Stephen Schwartz And Roger O. Hirson, And John Proctor Is The Villain By Kimberly Belflower- Four Bold And Beloved Works That Tackle Today’s Most Urgent Social Conversations With Humor And Heart. Tickets: Four-show subscription packages are available now starting at the early bird rate of $175* until Monday, May 11th, 2026. Starting Tuesday, May 12th, 2026 packages start at $195*. Subscriptions can be purchased now through the Adrienne Arsht Center box office by calling: (305) 949-6722. Or online at: www.ArshtCenter.org . Tickets for individual performances will be announced at a later date. For guests with accessibility needs, the Arsht provides accessible seating and complimentary assistive listening devices for all performances, along with sign language interpretation, open captioning, and audio description at select shows to ensure an inclusive experience for all guests. “This season of Theater Up Close is full of thought-provoking, fearless storytelling by one of South Florida’s best theater companies,” said Liz Wallace, Vice President of Programming at the Arsht. “Theater Up Close has become synonymous with some of the region’s best productions, and we are excited for Miami audiences to experience the magic of live theater with these critically-acclaimed works.” "We are thrilled to be returning as part of the Theatre Up Close Series,” said Zoetic Stage Artistic Director Stuart Meltzer. “Zoetic’s 17th Anniversary Season is a fantastic collection of stories celebrating humanity in times of change, reinforcing the simple powers of connection, imagination and love as the guiding principles for a bountiful future. In true Zoetic Stage style, we will explore the endless possibilities of storytelling with a treasure trove of 'magic to do'!" The lineup for the 2026-27 Theater Up Close series is as follows: Zoetic Stage and Adrienne Arsht Center present God Of Carnage By Yasmina Reza Translated by Christopher Hampton Directed by Stuart Meltzer Thursday, November 5th, 2026 - Sunday, November 22nd, 2026 “Deliciously savage satire.” – The Guardian Described as a "comedy of manners…without the manners," this Broadway hit examines the fragile veneer of civility in American society. The play centers on two sets of well-to-do parents who meet in a Brooklyn apartment to discuss a playground altercation between their 11-year-old sons, one of whom hit the other with a stick, knocking out two teeth. What begins as a polite, civilized conversation to resolve the situation quickly devolves into a night of name-calling, physical altercations and alcohol-fueled hysteria. More relevant today than when it was first written, the play holds up a mirror to modern society, dealing with the fragility of social etiquette, political polarization and the constant, distracting nature of modern technology. Cast completely with local actors and designers, Zoetic’s first play of the season promises to be as enlightening as it is entertaining. Zoetic Stage and Adrienne Arsht Center present The Inheritance, Part Two - Florida Premiere By Matthew Lopez Directed by Stuart Meltzer Thursday, January 7th, 2027 - Sunday, January 24th, 2027 “Zoetic Stage’s production leaves a lasting impression, especially in today’s atmosphere.” - Artburst Miami After the artistic, critical and box office success of last season’s production of The Inheritance Part 1, Zoetic Stage will continue the story that has brought so many communities in the region together. This emotional conclusion to the Tony Award-winning epic drama focuses on the aftermath of the AIDS crisis and the search for legacy among gay men in modern New York. It follows Eric Glass and Toby Darling as they confront self-destruction, addiction and the necessity of healing, resulting in a moving journey of hope and transformation. This production will bring back the multicultural cast from Part 1. Adrienne Arsht Center and Zoetic Stage present Pippin Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Book by Roger O. Hirson Directed by Stuart Meltzer Thursday, March 11th, 2027 - Sunday, April 4th, 2027 Winner of four Tony Awards, Stephen Schwartz's iconic musical masterpiece follows the young prince Pippin, son of Charlemagne, who journeys to find personal significance, or a "corner of the sky." Guided by a theatrical Leading Player, he explores war, lust, politics and ultimately love. A glorious journey filled with amazing music from the composer of Wicked. Zoetic Stage and Adrienne Arsht Center present John Proctor Is The Villain By Kimberly Belflower Directed by Stuart Meltzer Thursday, April 29th, 2027 - Sunday, May 16th, 2027 “An American classic in the making.” – New York Theater Guide Reimagining Arthur Miller's The Crucible through the eyes of modern teenage girls during the #MeToo era, the play follows a group of students in rural Georgia as they grapple with their teacher's assertion that John Proctor is a hero, while simultaneously dealing with local sex scandals that mirror the events in the Miller play. This award-winning Broadway play uses intelligence, humor and contemporary language to make serious points about patriarchy and female agency. Certain performances will feature after-show talk backs focusing on themes introduced in the play, including teacher-student relationships, peer manipulation, religious pressures and the #MeToo movement. *All programs, artists, ticket prices, availability, dates and times are subject to change without notice.

Moss Center Presents “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band Aventura Digest Oct 15, 2026 “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band Will Take The Stage At The Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center For A Free Concert On Friday, October 16th, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Gather Your Family And Friends For This Celebration Of America’s Oldest Continuously Active Professional Musical Organization As Part Of “Miami-Dade 250.” Tickets Are Available At: https://www.mosscenter.org/mc/eventDetail.page?id=498 Miami-Dade 250 commemorates the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America while honoring Miami-Dade County’s unique role in shaping the American story. This commemoration celebrates resilience, diversity, migration, and civic pride. Founded in 1798 by an Act of Congress, the Marine Band was established to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. The organization has fulfilled that mission for more than two centuries, performing for every U.S. President since President John Adams. President Thomas Jefferson is credited with giving the Marine Band its title, “The President’s Own,” in 1801. For the upcoming performance, Marine Band Director Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Nowlin has programmed musical selections in the style of the band’s 17th Director, John Philip Sousa, who initiated the concert tour tradition in 1891. Audiences can expect an engaging mix of traditional band repertoire, Sousa marches, contemporary compositions, vocal and instrumental solos, and a patriotic salute to the Armed Forces. The musicians of “The President’s Own” are active-duty Marines who enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps for permanent duty with the Marine Band. Selected through auditions like those held by professional symphony orchestras, the musicians are graduates of some of the nation’s leading music schools, and more than 60% have earned advanced degrees in music. At the White House, Marine Band musicians perform an average of 200 times each year in a remarkable range of ensembles, including jazz combos, brass quintets, country and dance bands, and the full concert band.  “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band is recommended for all ages. Admission is free, and tickets will be available beginning Thursday, October 1st, 2026. To purchase your available tickets, visit: www.MossCenter.org . Stop by the Moss Center Box Office in person.
