Temple Emanu-El

South Beach


An art-deco temple? Not exactly, but the smooth, bubbly dome and sleek, almost aerodynamic profile of this Conservative synagogue, established in 1938, fits right in on SoBe’s deco parade of moderne this and streamline that. Shabbat services are on Friday at 7pm and on Saturday at 10am.
