Overview
Mission
We bring to Jewish students — and to the whole community — an awareness of the origins, history, literature, music and customs of the Sephardim. We do this in a spirit that fosters unity among all Jews, Ashkenazi and Sephardi alike. We work hand in hand with faculty to build curriculum, provide teaching materials, and bring in guest speakers who can also train teachers. Our goal is never to dictate, but to aid, guide and support — so that Sephardic heritage becomes a natural, lasting part of Jewish education in South Florida. See how you can help Plaque for the Sephardic Education Center honoring the board of the Sephardic Jewish Center of Greater Miami. Your support brings Sephardic heritage to the next generation.
