On Sunday, Sept. 7, the Resort Tax Board sponsored a tour of the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU, (JMOF-FIU) located on South Beach. A group of participants joined Vice Mayor Tina Paul and Tourism Director Frank Trigueros for the curated experience, led by Museum Manager Eva Shvedova. An expert on the migration of Jews to South Florida as far back as 1929, Shvedova spoke about the property’s evolution as a congregation in the decades that followed.
In 2012, the Museum became part of Florida International University and has since served as a forum to promote tolerance, further global understanding and create connections to Jewish culture, history and arts.
Today, the museum is adorned with a unique hanging art display. Each year, a local Jewish artist is invited to exhibit at the museum ahead of Miami Art Week in December.
Verified Surfside hotel guests and residents enjoy exclusive year-round access to the Museum. The JMOF-FIU also features a variety of ongoing lectures and seasonal walking tours, please call 305-672-5044 or visit jmof.fiu.edu for details. The Museum is open Wednesday-Sunday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. except holidays.
