Episode notes

South Florida and Miami specifically are typically thought of as the most Jewish region in Florida. Jews have been major contributors to architecture in Miami Beach, as well as museums and food. Miami has served as an Ellis Island of sorts in the last century, with influxes of post-WW2 Jews and Cuban immigrants fleeing in the 1950s. This episode dives into how Jewish culture shaped the Magic City.
