Florida, home to nearly one million Jews, boasts a vibrant history shaped by a diverse blend of cultures that have found refuge in the Sunshine State. Among these communities, the story of Cuban Jews stands out as particularly remarkable.
Fleeing the rise of fascism in 1959, thousands of Cuban Jews resettled in Florida, carrying with them their rich traditions and a fierce determination to rebuild their lives. Their journey of survival and resilience is a testament to the enduring strength of the Jewish nation.
One of the most enduring symbols of this community’s perseverance is Temple Moses, one of Florida’s oldest synagogues, which continues to honor the legacy of the Cuban Jewish diaspora and their contributions to the state’s cultural fabric.
