The
Jewish
Museum
of
Florida-FIU
at
Miami
South
Beach
presents
a
cultural
intersectionality
between
17th
century
South
Florida
and
Latin-American
Jewish
photographed
historiography
and
contemporary
artistry.
The
museum,
although
not
a
formal
holocaust
museum,
it's
modernity
was
bequeathed
from
an
Orthodox
Jewish
Synagogue
of
old.
Adorned
by
hindsight
cultural
ambiance
and
past
socio-religious
philosophical
thought,
the
museum
is
a
synthesized
exhibition
of
curated
chronological
excellence.
The
narrated
tour
guide
highlighted
unknown
and
subtle
details
which
brought
greater
attraction
to
the
mounted
photographs
and
artifacts.
Though,
for
me,
the
most
beautiful
piece
of
artwork
was
the
hand
crafted
'The
Tish
of
The
Lamed
Vavniks'
by
Steve
Marcus,
2017.
The
miniature
Rabbī
were
carved
from
Bass
wood,
colored
by
Milk
paint,
Tung
oil
and
Torāh
ink.
Exquisite!
Other
artifacts
of
beauty
was
a
Sefer
Torāh
(The
Pentateuch),
a
dress
and
hand
gloves
decorated
with
seashells,
an
illustrious
944-page
Rothchild
Miscellany
Hebrew
illuminated
manuscript,
and
two
14th
century
German-Jewish
wedding
rings
with
internally
placed
prayers.
So
much
more
aesthetics
to
see,
therefore,
upon
your
visit,
allow
your
eyes
to
witness
the
plethora
of
beauteousness.
I
believe
the
overall
narrative
of
the
history
exhibited
throughout
the
museum
is
a
message
of
cohesive
culture
unified
with
progressive
religious
thought
possesses
the
potentiality
to
produce
fortified
communities,
foreign
and
domestic.
I
think
the
museum
is
a
perfect
representation
of
what
a
people
can
be
should
they
choose
to
be.
There's
much
to
be
seen
and
gleaned
from
the
museum.
I'm
sure
anyone
visiting
the
Jewish
Museum
of
Florida-FIU
will
experience
a
cultural
immersion
into
a
local
people
who
preserved
their
history
for
present-day
study
and
life-long
learning.
מי
ייתן
ושלום
ושגשוג
יהיו
בשפע
בחייו
של
הנלמד
היטב
והמודע
ביותר
מבחינה
רוחנית.
אלוהים
גדול!
Enjoy
the
museum
and
the
atmophere
of
sunny
South
Beach
Miami,
Florida.
