Description

"The tri-county area of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach is home to a community of more than 625,000 Jews - about 10 percent of American Jews - and comprises nearly 200 congregations, 3 major Jewish federations, 20 Hebrew day schools, and a world-recognized Holocaust memorial. Yet no single book offers an overview of this vital Jewish community." "Jews of South Florida offers a history of the development of Jewish life in the region, from its modest start at the end of the nineteenth show more century to the beginning of the twenty-first century." "With more than 130 historical and contemporary photographs, this unique book offers a look at a tenacious, yet remarkably diverse, Jewish community."--Jacket. show less
