Temple Hatikvah - The Homestead Jewish
Center is a liberal congregation
serving the Jewish community of South Dade (Homestead, Perrine, Palmetto Bay, The
Redland, Cutler Ridge, Upper Keys & Northern Monroe County). It was founded as a Jewish
Community Center in 1952 by visionary Jewish pioneers who moved into
deep South Dade where they wanted to build a center
of Jewish life. We have been in the same location since then.

In 1974, the community reorganized. Most of the members at the time came from Naranja and
The Redland. The synagogue continued to grow. At our peak the
synagogue had almost 300 family units! On August 24, 1992 Hurricane
Andrew decimated The Homestead Jewish Center, and much of the larger Homestead
community. Most of our members relocated, but those
faithful few who remained, rebuilt the Center with hope to continue serving the
Jewish community of South Dade. We
renamed our congregation Temple Hatikvah, which means: The Temple of Hope.
Our congregation is small but very hemish
(warm and friendly). Our dynamic rabbi and inspiring cantorial soloist lead us in Shabbat and holiday
worship services twice a month. Our one hour services are enhanced by the
beautiful music of Millie Draizar. We have family Shabbat dinners and we
celebrate Jewish holidays with joy. We always welcome new friends,
winter visitors or just well wishers;
