(Translated by Google) Very good museum to know the Jewish history of Miami. In a former Synagogue. I collected many things to see. The only thing is that I think more physical parts of things are missing instead of a photo. Very cultural and provides a lot of historical information. Worth a visit. University students pay less with their college ID. (Original) Muy buen museo para conocer la historia Judia de Miami. En una ex Sinagoga. Cob muchas cosas para ver. Lo unico es que creo faltan mas piezs fisicas de cosas en vez de foto. Muy cultural y brinda mucha información historica. Vale la pena visitarlo. Estudiantes universitarias pagan menos con su Id de la universidad.

Tutoring by Mallori

I really loved touring this museum! My tour guide Janet was so knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend.

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.

Martin Bonica

Very inviting, well-curated, informative museum with insightful and friendly docents. Dives deep into the crucial role of Miami's Jewish community in the city's history, and the impact of Miami on the community (it's an art deco synagogue!). Contemporary and historical art from around the world is also featured. If you're in Miami looking for museums, this is essential.

Mary Jane B.

Beautiful museum. I learned a lot about history and art of the Jewish people. I loved their documentaries running on a loop. Very educational. I wish they had a parking lot but it's South Beach, it will never happen.

Sharon Cohen

History of the Jews in Miami. Great day.

Annett Cristo

Small but very interesting space.

Harry Zupnik

I loved this museum so much that I trained to be a docent here. +Very interesting "Mosaic" perm exhibit, plus 2-3 special exhibits. +Museum housed in important art-deco former synagogue in South-beach area. +Beautiful Judaica very reasonably priced in gift shop. (- cafe closed and no kosher eatery nearby ;(

David Chase-Lopes

(Translated by Google) An interesting introduction to the Jews of Florida and the life they created there. (Original) Une introduction intéressante aux juifs de la Floride et la vie qu'ils y ont créée.

Iqbal Akhtar

Amazing institution, great for dialogue and history.

David Polk

Worth a visit if you have an interest in Jewish history and have some extra time in Miami Beach. The museum is housed in a former synagogue, and while the exhibit is somewhat confusing to follow (there is a lot of information squeezed into not a lot of room), there are very interesting bits of information and photos to be found throughout.

Susan Ben-Rubin

Good exhibitions, friendly staff / volunteers, great gift shop

Came here about 2 years ago for an event to celebrate the legacy of the schmatta trade in Miami. Very interesting and enlightening. Took a quick walk through to look at the exhibits. Jewish life in the 305. The building is an ex-synogague very beautiful built with care and love. You can feel the spirituality of the place even after conversion to a museum.

Fascinating little museum, a friend and I (neither of us Jewish) went whilst in Miami and it was a lovely way of hearing about the history of Florida through the eyes of the Jewish community. The building is beautiful too.

Toni Airaksinen

Very small space compared to other museums, but if you have a serious interest in Judiasm or other religions... The Jewish Museum is definitely worth the trip. Very friendly staff & funny security guard today... overall great experience. They do offer tours too! (But I didn’t go on one since I like to explore at my own pace).

A historic museum housed in restored buildings. Take the tour, the information is worth it.

מומלץ לבקר, קיבלנו הסבר בחינם שהיה מעניין מאוד. לא המוזיאון הכי מפואר ומסודר בעולם אבל חשוב לכל יהודי להכנס. בעיקר על יהדות מיאמי.

Avraham Pittleman

Fascinating

Justin Waters

I visited this museum a few years ago. I try to visit every museum a city has to offer, so I write this review a little biased due to my positive view of all museums. The volunteer at the museum asked me how I heard about the museum and if I am Jewish. I told her the internet and that I am not Jewish. She then asked if I knew this was a Jewish museum. I told her yes and that I enjoy all museums. That was kind of awkward. Regarding the museum, it was interesting if you really like Florida or Jewish history or the combination of the two. I like Florida history, so I found the museum worthwhile. I would go again if I'm in the area.

Phil Hong

Nice place
