Miami Jewish Museum & Isaac Bashevis Singer

I had the privilege and pleasure of visiting the Miami Jewish Museum in South Beach this past Sunday. It was a rainy summer day and in between running between rainfall and puddles it was a good cultured experience.

There is an Isaac Bashevis Singer (and his artists) exhibit at the museum until September 2011 and I recommend that any fan of the literary great to go and check out the small, intimate exhibit at the museum. Singer lived his last days in the Surfside neighborhood of Miami and has a street named after him there. He was a prolific novelist of short stories, poems and more and was one of the greatest writers in the post World War 2 era. He keeps the Yiddish language alive.

The museum on its own is a small museum with interesting and wonderful information on Jewish Floridians, Cuban Jews and the Israeli connection.
