Jewish Miami Beach Tour Learn about Jewish Heritage of Florida
Overview
Get ready to embark on a captivating journey through the history, culture, and rich contributions of the Jewish community in this sunny paradise.
We will visit such iconic places as Jewish Museum of Miami, Holocaust Memorial and others. This is one-of-a-kind tour not offered by anyone else. It is a product of tedious research and will show Miami Beach as not just a beach destination but a place full of history and, specifically, the history of its vibrant Jewish community.
Have you heard that Eleanor Roosevelt used to order pickled herring from Grossinger hotel in South Beach? Did you know why did notorious Al Capone sent truckloads of flowers to the oldest Jewish restaurant in Miami Beach? Do you know why Jews could not live North of Fifth Street? If the answer is “no” – you would enjoy my tour.
Time permitting, we can stop to get a bite to eat in one of the traditional Jewish delis along the Orthodox 41st Street corridor.
The tour is perfect both for visitors and locals.
