Norma and Michael Orovitz Presented by The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation
While we were born and reared in polar opposite cultures and cities… north and south…and like to say ours is a “mixed marriage,” we came to our partnership with identical core beliefs. Despite differences in ritual practices of a classically raised Miami Reform Jew and a more traditionally nurtured “Conservadox” New Yorker, we each grew up in families
anchored to synagogues. So, it was natural that Temple Israel of Greater Miami, an Orovitz family tradition since nearly a century ago, would be central to the joint community life we would build together in South Florida. Primarily, each of our parents worked at ensuring civil rights for oppressed and persecuted Jews here and in Europe and Palestine, worked at ensuring support and health services for the disabled and worked at providing an educational and career path for returning GIs and Jewish physicians following Norma and Michael Orovitz
