About this item

Beyond the stereotype of elderly Jews visiting sunny beaches before stopping in at a New York-style deli, a rich history and Jewish cultural tradition lie beneath the surface of South Florida. The area is populated by Ashkenazi Jews, Sephardic Jews with roots in Spain or Turkey, and those from Cuba and other Latin American countries. It's this cultural mingling that makes the Jewish way of life in South Florida so unique. More than simply a travel guide, Jewish South Florida approaches each profiled location as an opportunity to bring to light the culture of the Jews that have made South Florida their home.
