Fittingly, the culmination and focus of all these efforts is the initial exhibit, "Building a Place in the Sun: The Jews of Miami Beach, 1913- 1945." Those four decades were the most decisive in Florida Jew- ish history; but, in fact, as docu- mented in the museum's permanent collection, Jews have been a part of Florida history vir- tually since Ponce de Leon went looking for the Fountain of Youth.
