More Hispanic Jews are finding a home in South Florida
Tagged: family, Florida, latin americaPosted on: September 12th, 2007“For Saltoff and other recently arrived Latin American Jews, this year’s High Holy Days will offer something precious: a new religious identity in a new land. And as they welcome the year 5768 with the blast of the shofar, they will help stamp their influence on a religious community sure to become more Hispanic and perhaps more observant because of their presence.
South Florida long has been a natural destination for Latin American Jews fleeing political turmoil and anti-Semitism. Many had once vacationed here; others wanted to be near family members and friends. They’re attracted by the area’s Hispanic culture, to be sure, but they also cherish its religious freedom.”
