stores are nearby; and on
Rosh Hashanah, the con-
gregants perform their ritual
immersion by walking over to
Indian Creek, just steps from
Ohev Shalom.
Next stop is a synagogue
that's also a culture center in
Jewish Miami. Across from
the Miami Beach Center for
the Performing Arts at 17th

Emanu-El dominates the cor-
ner, with its silver dome
gleaming in the sunlight.
Outside, a poster announces a
full season of lectures.
Inside, the large sanctuary
is impressive. In the foyer is
a display case with a street
sign reading "Lehrman
Drive" and a city proclama-
tion dated December 1986,
when Miami Beach officials
re-named 77th Street to
honor Dr. Irving Lehrman,
longtime rabbi of Emanu-El
and a prominent national
Jewish leader.
The largest Reform con-
gregation in Miami Beach
had very modest beginnings.
When it was founded in 1942,
it was a small beach town
congregation. Twenty island
families held their first High
Holy Day service in a store-
front.
Now this congregation
numbers over 3,000 members.
The facilities of Emanu-El in-
clude an art gallery, music
wing, learning resource
center, nursery school and
classrooms so modern they're
even wired for closed circuit
television.
Inside, visitors often notice
the wall which youngsters
transformed into a full
ceramic display, highlighting
key events of Jewish
American history over 200
years. Windows nearby look
out into the garden with its
Holocaust memorial sculp-
ture, another project of the
Hebrew school students.

As visitors enter the main
sanctuary, they often stop and
gaze at its striking design.
Designed by prominent
synagogue architect Percival
Goodman in 1956, it's a vast,
semi-circular area, with
dome-shaped windows made
of six-pointed glass panels in
vibrant colors.
This modern sanctuary is
used not only for prayer but
for lectures and varied
culture events. On the day I
visited, a speaker was talking
animatedly in Yiddish, and
the audience listened with
rapt attention.- It turned out
this was the weekly meeting
of the local YIVO chapter in
Miami, affiliated with the
New York YIVO headquar-
ters, a world center for
