summer heat, with lots of activities for you and
your out-of-town guests. We have a full line-up
of programs, including chef demonstrations of
smoothie samples and outrageous desserts,
a wine tasting event, Museum mixers, Sunday afternoon movies and
a recipe contest closing out the season. Be sure to pull out and save
pages 12-13 of TILES with the full schedule. If you have not had the
chance yet to fully enjoy our two current exhibits, Growers Grocers
& Gefilte Fish: Florida Jews and Food and Cinema Judaica: The War
Years 1939-1949, treat yourself to a nice long visit – there’s so much to
explore that every time you come, you learn something new. I am so
excited about and proud of the high quality of our exhibits and events,
regularly engaging such a diverse mix of visitors of all ages, from every
corner of the world. We deeply appreciate your continued support to
make all this possible. Have a safe and relaxing summer. I look forward
to seeing you here often!

FIU Hospitality Students Get Real Life
Experience with Alumnus Chef Allen Susser

Dining Room.
t was a mouthwatering experience that left guests with
intoxicating dreams of exotic variations on haroset, succulent
mushrooms, flavorful Mahi-Mahi, and a chocolate dessert
that would soothe any soul… On April 9, 2014, Upper Level
JMOF-FIU members and supporters were treated to an exclusive
four-course dinner curated by the acclaimed Chef Allen Susser.
The event was held at FIU’s Biscayne Bay Campus. Guests
were escorted to the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism
Management’s beautiful new state-of-the art dining room with
its high ceilings, ornate fixtures, and video monitors that ran a
presentation of the students preparing for the dinner and a photo
montage of past Museum events.
Under the supervision of Lead Instructor Chef Michael Moran,
this special dinner was planned, prepared and served by FIU
Hospitality students as a training session for the Advanced Food
Production Management Course. Each student had a role in the
event, either front or back of the house. The team that ran the
front of house had to focus on proper service etiquette, while the
back of the house team focused on food preparation using Chef
Allen’s recipes. This evening’s class served as a “final exam” for
the Student Group Managers: Mauricio Uribe (General Manager),
Skylar Siegel (Dining Room Manager), Stephanie Zorrilla (Assistant
Dining Room Manager), Kerline St. Prouix (Operations Manager),
Viviana Siles (Bakery and Pastry Manager), Jenna Wohl (Kitchen
Manager), and Claudia Vera (Assistant Kitchen Manager). In the
weeks prior to the event, Chef Allen mentored the students,
showing them the proper preparation and presentation of his
delectable dishes, created especially for this event.
“We did so much to prepare for this event, but the main thing
that we did was to train our front of house and back of house
staff, which consisted of our classmates,” explained Dining Room
Manager, Skylar Siegel, “We spent a lot of time training them on
the menu, ingredients and service procedures.”
When asked how she felt the evening went, Skylar replied,
“I feel that the evening went amazingly well, especially being
FIU Hospitality Students with Chef Allen Susser and
Chef Michael Moran after a fantastic evening.
that my management group and I had no idea what the printed
menus or centerpieces would look like until the day of the event.
But the most fun part of the evening for me was having the
opportunity to speak to the guests one-on-one, because it was
so great to hear their positive feedback. I also thoroughly enjoyed
working with Chef Allen and introducing him at the beginning of
the event.”
Mauricio Uribe, the evening’s General Manager, has a lot of
experience in the service industry, but this program gave him
a special insight into other roles. “I learned about the prep and
timing of the meal and the dining room preparation, like folding
napkins and placement of silverware. I never had back of the
house experience, so this was the best part. The facility has stateof-the-art equipment that I’ve never seen in most restaurants!
Also, Chef Moran was great. He was very approachable.”
For many of the students, this was the end of their
coursework. After graduation, most plan on pursuing positions
at top restaurants or training in specialized leadership programs.
For instance, Skylar hopes to take part in Marriott’s Voyage MIT/
Leadership Development Program. “I just got a great email from
them and when I am accepted, I will be sent away to a new
unknown location where I will work with the best of the best in
the hospitality industry and be molded into the great manager
that I know I can be. Upon completion of that program I plan to
complete my masters degree while working for Marriott. Overall, I
am just so thankful for all that FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality
has taught me and for all of the opportunities that the career
services offices have provided me with. It is an amazing program
that I will dearly miss.”
This intimate Dinner with Chef Allen was offered as part of our
series of food related events in conjunction with our current exhibit,
Growers, Grocers & Gefilte Fish. You can see more photos from
this special evening on page 11. If you are hungry for more, our
next “foodie” event is Sunday, June 8th with NPR personality,
Linda Gassenheimer sharing recipes and smoothies from her latest
cookbook Simply Smoothies (see pages 12-13).

Collections
Keys to the Collection offers an inside
peek at JMOF-FIU’s vast collections
Pocket watch with Hebrew
numerals owned by George
Dzialynski, born in 1857, in
Jacksonville. George was
the first child born in Florida
to a Jewish family that
planted roots in the state
and has continued to live
here as Jews since 1850.
From the Collections of the Jewish Museum of Florida,
originated by Marcia Jo Zerivitz, founding executive director.
As is the case for all museums, our limited amount of gallery space prevents us from showing visitors everything
in our collection, which includes more than 100,000 artifacts, documents, photographs and ephemera. This
series provides the opportunity for a “behind the scenes look” at items in our collection, giving our audience
from all over the world a chance to learn about some of our museum’s treasures.
Saluting Florida Jewish Service men and women in the armed forces.
U.S. Army Sergeant Jeanette
Jacobson, c.1943.
Born in New York City, Sergeant
Jacobson enlisted in the Women’s
Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in August
1942 and was sent to Fort Des Moines,
Iowa for training. When the Women’s
Army Corps (WAC) formed in 1943,
she enlisted again and was assigned
as a supply sergeant. In September
1943, Sergeant Jacobson was sent to England and served at
Headquarters-8th Air Force as a secretary. After V-E Day, she was
transferred to the Intelligence Section until October 1945, when
she was discharged. Sergeant Jacobson was awarded the Bronze
Star, Good Conduct Medal, WAC Service Medal, EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, Victory Medal and
the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross. After the war,
she joined the Jewish War Veterans, becoming the first woman
Commander of the North Miami Beach (FL) Post. In 1996, she was
elected to be Florida State Commander. Jacobson has served as
a Director of the National Museum of American Jewish Military
History. She also volunteered four times in Israel, working in
vehicle maintenance at a tank and heavy truck base.
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Abe Stein,
c.1944.
Sergeant Stein joined the Army in
November 1940, rather than waiting
to be drafted. He was assigned to
the Army Medical Department and
he asked to be stationed in Hawaii.
Sergeant Stein arrived in Hawaii in
January 1941 and was assigned to the
Schofield Barracks Station Hospital.
On December 7, 1941, he was shaken from his bed at 7:55 a.m. as
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor began. Having survived the
attack, Sergeant Stein returned to the U.S. in June 1943, before
being sent to Europe in March 1944. As a member of the 31st
Medical Depot Company, he also participated in the Allied Invasion
of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
U.S. Army Private Harold Baumgarten,
1944.
Private Baumgarten was drafted into
the Army when he turned 18 and was
assigned to the 116th Infantry Regiment,
29th Infantry Division. He was sent to
England and trained for the invasion of
Europe. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Private
Baumgarten, with a large Star of David
painted in his field jacket, landed with the
first wave on Dog Green Sector, Omaha Beach. Of the 30 men on
his landing boat, he was only one of two survivors. During the two
days of taking the beach, he was wounded five times, including
stepping on a land mine. He was awarded the French Legion of
Honor, Purple Heart, two Bronze Stars, Conspicuous Service Cross
of New York State and the Jubilee Medal of Freedom from the
Government of Normandy. The wristwatch that Baumgarten wore
on D-Day is on exhibit at the National World War II Museum. His
story inspired Steven Spielberg’s opening scene in the film “Saving
Private Ryan.” After the war, Baumgarten received his Master of
Science and Doctor of Medicine from the University of Miami and
practiced medicine in Jacksonville for 40 years.
U.S. Army Technical Sergeant Adah
Straus, c.1944.
Born in 1914 in Richmond, VA, Sergeant
Straus taught band in small towns
in Virginia. In 1943, she joined the
Women’s Army Corps (WAC) and the
403rd Army Service Forces (ASF) band.
Sergeant Straus’ stripes came quickly
and when the director told the band that
she was now the top non-commissioned
(non-com), the other non-com (Sergeant
Holland) said “No G-damn Jew is
gonna boss me.” The Post Attorney
made Sergeant Holland apologize to Sergeant Straus in front of
the band. This was the first time that Adah Straus had run into
antisemitism. She moved to Coconut Grove, FL in 1954 after
marrying Harold Jaffer.
It’s important to remember that the museum would not have its extensive collection if it weren’t for so many of you who have
graciously donated your family’s memorabilia to be preserved and available for future generations. To add items about the past
and current Florida Jewish experience to the museum’s collection, please contact the registrar at 786-972-3167.

Education
Promoting Social Action in the Classroom
On Sunday, March 9, we conducted
our third and final Professional
Development Workshop for the 201314 school year for K-12 educators.
The cross-curricular workshop was
designed in conjunction with our
exhibit, CINEMA JUDAICA: The
War Years, 1939-1949, focusing on
popular culture, mass media and
effecting positive social change in the
classroom and the community.
The goal of the workshop was to
provide instructional materials about
the role of the Hollywood film industry
in the war effort and how propaganda
can be used to influence attitudes of
the community towards a particular
point of view. The keynote
speaker, Professor Barbara
Weitz, serves as Director of the
FIU Film Studies Certificate
Program in addition to her
roles as member of the FIU
European Studies Faculty
and Affiliated Faculty of both
the Women’s Studies and the
Judaic Studies departments.

workshop for the teachers was
breaking into groups to create
and share posters they designed to
advocate for positive social changes
to implement the concepts from the
in society. The workshop provided the workshop in classroom exercises with
tools and inspiration for the teachers,
their students.
Some teacher reflections from the Professional Development Workshop
Lidia Lechtman, Aventura Waterways K-8 Center educator whose parents fled both Europe and Cuba wrote, “I like how the
workshop tied in the topic of propaganda and hidden messages that have been brought out through cinema and advertising.
I feel this is a very important topic that needs to be covered and discussed in the schools…It would be wonderful if through
education and understanding, the human race will learn to live together and respect each other’s differences and similarities.”
Elizabeth Mirabal, an art teacher at several area schools, commented, “(I) teach my students about forms of mass
communication and visual culture…I enjoyed examining how the movie posters and the movie excerpts reflected certain ideas
or points of view that are no longer considered politically correct, but which were acceptable topics of propaganda in the 1940s.
I left motivated and wanting to share the information with the student population I work with.”
Aracely Jurado, Aventura Waterways K-8 Center, summarized the experience saying, “We must learn from the past and the
mistakes that humanity has made. In our poster you can see the evil side and the good side, as well as justice in the middle. As
an educator and a mother, the most important thing is to teach the students and my own kids to fight for justice and equality.”

In partnership with Miami Jewish Film Festival,

The War Years, 1939-1949. FOREIGN
CORRESPONDENT (United Artists, 1940) was
nominated for six Academy Awards including
Best Picture. This critically acclaimed
international spy drama was so timely in its
day that it ends with the onset of the Battle
of Britain. In the midst of the German aerial
bombardment of London, the hero, an
American newspaper reporter, broadcasts to
his countrymen declaring that they are the last
bastion of democracy left in the world.

Presentation and discussion by

Paradoxically, kosher meat is more readily
available, yet many kosher butcher shops are
closing around the country. In this film, Aaron
Davidson visits Miami Beach’s last surviving
stand-alone kosher butcher shop to find out
why customers keep coming back – and it’s as
much about the meat as it is who they meet.

JUDAICA: The War Years, 1939-1949.

Summer Matinee Finale:
TO BE OR NOT TO BE
In partnership with Miami Jewish Film
Festival, JMOF-FIU presents this final film in a
three-part series of screenings of films in the
current exhibition of movie posters, CINEMA
JUDAICA: The War Years, 1939-1949. TO
BE OR NOT TO BE (United Artists, 1942) is a
comedy set in occupied, devastated Poland,
and replete with running jokes about the new
Nazi concentration camps in Poland and
Hitler’s saturation of bombing of Warsaw. The
film earned its Jewish writer-director Ernst
Lubitsch harsh criticism. However, the movie
has many defenders who have suggested
that humor was the only weapon Lubitsch, a
displaced Berlin Jew, possessed, so he used
it against the Nazi characters in the film.

From a Coin Toss into Politics:
The Life of a Senator
Members Only Exhibit Opening
Join us for the opening of this colorful exhibit
on Senator Richard B. Stone, who served
as Florida’s second and most recent Jewish
U.S. Senator (1975-1981). From a Coin Toss
includes photographs, classified documents
and artifacts, illustrating the Senator’s
fascinating story, from growing up on Miami
Beach in his family-owned Blackstone
Hotel, to the elegant ball gowns worn by his
“First Lady” Marlene at White House State
dinners, to highlights from his prestigious
Ambassadorships in Central America and
Denmark. Stone’s foray into 40 years of
public service began as Miami City Attorney,
however, when a new Florida Senate seat was
created in 1967, it was a winning coin toss
that solidified his course in the political arena.
Free for Museum Members at the $125
level and above; $18 for all other Museum
Members. RSVP by September 10.

So What Is The Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU
The Jewish Museum of Florida opened in 1995 in a former historic synagogue that housed the first congregation on Miami Beach.
Built in 1936, the Henry Hohauser designed building that underwent a two-year restoration, boasts Art Deco features, a copper
dome and 80 stained glass windows. In 2007, the museum expanded into the original 1929 synagogue next door after a one-year
restoration, now The Jonathan Symons Building. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, the two
buildings were connected with a skylighted Bessie’s Bistro.
The museum is much more than beautiful buildings. It is a place that presents its own and traveling exhibits, sponsors cultural and
educational programs, houses a Collections & Research Center reflecting 250 years of Florida Jewish history, and communicates
Jewish history, art, culture and values to Jews and non-Jews alike in an informal mode. The museum is also a place where Jews of all
ages and stripes discover and reaffirm their rich heritage – thus helping to strengthen Jewish identity and ensure Jewish continuity.
So how did all this get started? You may already know if you are among those who participated in and enjoyed the exhibit
MOSAIC: Jewish Life in Florida that traveled to 13 cities (1990-94). Depicting Florida Jewish history from 1763 to the present, this
was a statewide grassroots project to collect material evidence from the time Jews were first allowed to live in the Sunshine State.
Thousands of photographs, artifacts and oral histories were gathered from families and this collection continues now in the museum,
which was created as a result of the interest and support garnered from the original MOSAIC project.
Where the traveling exhibit was the launch, the Jewish Museum of Florida further delves into the state’s rich Jewish history of
yesterday and today – for the future.
Historic Partnership with Florida International University (FIU)
Following the approval of the museum’s Board of Directors, Florida International University’s Board of Trustees and the Florida Board
of Governors, the museum became part of the FIU family in December 2012. This historic partnership leverages the resources of the
museum and FIU, igniting a new era of interdisciplinary education and research focused on the history of the Jewish experience in
Florida, the ways in which Florida Jews influence and are influenced by the cultural dynamics of Florida, the nation and the world,
and issues of discrimination against all peoples in Florida throughout history. A key component of the partnership is the relocation
of a variety of FIU programs, including the Jewish Studies Certificate Program, to the museum’s facilities. The plan also includes
the expansion of academic programs and research endeavors designed to educate FIU students, faculty and the greater Florida
community about the challenges of the immigrant experiences shared by all ethnicities in the State.
Whether your family has lived in Florida for eight generations, as some have, or just arrived – YOUR story is an important tile in the
MOSAIC. Join us!
