Documented Jewish history in Florida does not begin for anoth- er two centuries, according to the museum archives. In 1763, Sephardic Jews made their first peimanent settlement in Flori- da. They had fled New Orleans, when that city had fallen from French hands to Spanish; and they found sanctuary in Florida, when the British wrested control of the state from Spanish rule. By 1821, when Spain (which had regained Florida) finally ced- ed possession of the state to the United States, Jews could breathe freely the pure sea air- which swept_the Florida penin- sula from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The heavy hand of the Inquisition was lift- ed, for all time—although a home-grown Ku Klux Klan and bone-deep anti-Semitism would persist at least until 1945, the close of the period portrayed in the major museum exhibit. The museum building is housed in what was formerly Congregation Beth Jacob. The ar- chitect was a congregant, Henry Hohauser. The original structure contained 80 stained glass win- dows, a lofty sanctary topped by a copper dome, a marble bimah and a number of Art Deco elements of the period (the synagogue was dedicated in 1936), like the chandeliers and sconces. All of these features have been incorporated into the renovated museum structure. And that area of Miami Beach — south of Lin- coln Road — is now the very trendy Art Deco District, with a spot earned on the National Reg- ister of Historic Places. Visitors who make much of the rectangular, Bauhaus-inspired shapes of the houses and hotels of the District — it's now known as "SoBe," or the Soho of the South — can saunter its palm free-lined streets, buy overpriced trinkets in its shops, sip Cuba Li- bres at its outdoor cafes. The big show on Miami Beach history at the museum will recall to visitors a less happy time for Art Deco inhabitants, when their neighborhood was, in fact, a ghet- to, and Jews did not go beyond its boundaries. They simply were not allowed to rent or buy property north of the invisible frontier at Lincoln Road. The racism of the 1913-45 pe- riod no longer exists — except, massively and substantially, against black African Americans and dark-skinned Hispanic Americans.
