Submit by Monday, September 1
The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach is seeking audio or video recordings of Holocaust Survivors singing songs from their childhood: As part of the development of our new Education Center, we are partnering with a creative team to create a special audioscape — a sound composition that honors and reflects the vibrant cultural and spiritual life of Jewish communities in Europe before the Holocaust.
To bring this experience to life, we’re looking for recordings from Survivor family members of songs remembered from the past. These may include religious melodies, lullabies, folk tunes or other songs from childhood or community life. If you or someone you know has such recordings, we would be honored to consider them for inclusion.
We kindly request that files be submitted in MP3 or MP4 format (audio or video) and sent to [email protected] by September 1, with the Subject Line: HMMB Audioscape.

Kehillah on the Beach — A New Friday Night Tradition!
Posted by Lauren Gold on 07/20/2025 @ 09:31 AM
Come be part of something new — where tradition, music, and community meet by the sea.
Every Friday night at the Cuban Hebrew Congregation | 7 PM
Followed by a lively and delicious Oneg | 8 PM
A dedicated group of former Temple Israel members has launched Kehillah on the Beach, a new Friday night Shabbat experience led by Rabbi/Cantor Rachelle Nelson.
When the Cuban Hebrew Congregation — Beth Shmuel — learned that Kehillah was looking for a home, they graciously opened their doors. With no existing Friday night service of their own, the historic Miami Beach synagogue welcomed the opportunity to host this new spiritual community in their sanctuary.
The inaugural service took place on Friday night, July 18, with 61 people in attendance. Rabbi/Cantor Nelson, known for her warmth and musical spirit from her years at Temple Israel and Temple Beth Am, led the community in a moving and joyful celebration of Shabbat.
