Jewish Museum of Florida
301 Washington Ave. Miami Beach, FL 33139
Amazing Miami Attractions -- In tribute to all veterans, the Museum will mount an exhibit on the story of Floridian Jews who have served in the military. Throughout history, the supreme offering a human being could make for his nation was to put one’s life on the line for the ideals and freedom of that nation. The military offered a direct route to acculturation, especially for new immigrants. Floridian Jews have fought for every conflict from the Seminole Wars when the city of Ft. Myers was named for Col. Abraham C. Myers through the Civil War when Morris Dzialynski of Jacksonville and many others served, to the World Wars, Korean, Viet Nam, Gulf and battles of the 21st Century!
