The aging temple was restored in 1995 by Sunglass Hut founder and local philanthropist Sanford L. Ziff. The synagogue housed the first congregation on Miami Beach and was built in 1936 by Henry Hohauser, who designed many nearby Art Deco hotels including the Essex House and Century Hotel. The museum’s current exhibit is <strong><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;">Zap Pow Bam: Superheroes of the Golden Age of Comics,</span></strong> which highlights the Jewish creators of Superman, Batman, Captain America and Wonder Woman from 1938 to 1950. January is Florida Jewish History month, and there are many <a href="http://www.jewishmuseum.com/publicprograms.html">special lectures and events</a> taking place at the museum.</span><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Arial;"></span><img src="http://411.miamiandbeaches.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=47" width="1" height="1">attractionssouth beachmuseumsJewish Museum of Floridaarts
