This page records where the institutions are: the eruv boundaries, the synagogues, the kosher food, the day schools and the community centres near the buildings the desk covers, with addresses and approximate distances, checked in September 2026. It describes places, not people, and it recommends no building for anyone.
This page covers where the institutions are. Which building suits you is a separate question. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
Miami Beach. The Miami Beach Eruv covers the island from South Beach through Mid Beach into parts of North Beach; the council publishes the official map and an alert for boundary changes every Friday (miamibeacheruv.org, map dated 12 Sep 2025). Shore Club Private Collection on Collins Avenue in South Beach sits inside it. Between 64th and 79th Streets the boundary runs at the dune, so oceanfront buildings there sit at the edge and should be checked on the map; The Perigon at 5333 Collins Avenue is south of that stretch. Ocean Terrace in North Beach lies at the northern end of the map and is checked address by address.
Surfside and Bal Harbour. A separate eruv covers Surfside and Bal Harbour, maintained by Young Israel of Bal Harbour; it includes the inner walking path only, not the pier at Haulover Cut, and the congregation asks residents to call the hotline every Friday before relying on it (yicbh.org). Rivage at 10201 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour, sits within it.
Sunny Isles Beach. EruvFinder lists a Sunny Isles Beach eruv; its certifying authority is not published on that directory, so the desk names it as listed and not as verified. Bentley Residences and the St Regis Residences Sunny Isles are the desk’s buildings there.
Aventura. EruvFinder lists an Aventura South eruv and a North Miami Beach eruv on the mainland side of the Intracoastal. The desk covers no building in Aventura at this edition; its institutions are recorded because Sunny Isles residents use them across the Lehman and Sunny Isles causeways, ~1 to ~2 miles away.
Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater and the Design District. The directories the desk consulted (EruvFinder, the Miami Beach Eruv Council, chabad.org) list no eruv covering these mainland neighbourhoods as of September 2026. Delano, Waldorf Astoria, Nobu, Villa Miami, Anantara and Kempinski are therefore outside any listed eruv.
Fisher Island. No eruv is listed for the island; access is by ferry from Miami Beach. Six Fisher Island is the desk’s building there.
An eruv is a community fact, not a building feature. The developer’s brochure will not mention it; the council’s map will.
Bal Harbour and Surfside. The Shul of Bal Harbour, 9540 Collins Avenue, Surfside, ~0.5 miles from Rivage on foot along Collins. Young Israel of Bal Harbour, 9580 Abbott Avenue, Surfside, ~0.6 miles from Rivage.
Sunny Isles Beach. Chabad Lubavitch of Sunny Isles Beach, 17555 Atlantic Boulevard, ~0.5 miles from Bentley Residences at 18401 Collins Avenue and ~0.7 miles from the St Regis at 18801 Collins. Chabad of Golden Beach, 19201 Collins Avenue, ~0.3 miles north of the St Regis. Temple B’nai Zion, Sunny Isles Beach, is listed in the kosher travel directories; the desk has not verified its address.
Aventura. Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, Conservative, on NE 191st Street, ~2 miles from the Sunny Isles buildings; Chabad and Sephardic congregations in Aventura and North Miami Beach are listed on chabad.org and in the kosher travel directories.
Miami Beach. Temple Emanu-El, 1701 Washington Avenue, Conservative, ~0.3 miles from Shore Club at 1901 Collins Avenue. Temple Beth Sholom, 4144 Chase Avenue, Reform. Beth Israel Congregation, 770 40th Street, Orthodox, which also publishes the Miami Beach eruv boundary. Chabad of Miami Beach and Chabad of South Beach serve the island; further congregations in Mid Beach and North Beach are listed on chabad.org and on the eruv council’s map, several within ~1 mile of Ocean Terrace and The Perigon.
Brickell and Downtown. The Rok Family Shul, Chabad Downtown Jewish Center, 35 SE 9th Street, Orthodox, ~0.3 miles from 619 by Nobu at 619 Brickell Avenue, ~1 mile from Waldorf Astoria Residences and ~1.5 miles from Delano Residences across the river in Downtown. It houses a mikvah and the Brickell Kosher Deli.
Edgewater and the Design District. Temple Israel of Greater Miami, 137 NE 19th Street, Reform, ~0.8 miles from Villa Miami at 700 NE 29th Street; Anantara Residences sits in the same Edgewater stretch. Chabad at Midtown, on NE 29th Street west of Biscayne Boulevard, ~0.4 miles from Villa Miami and ~0.7 miles from Kempinski Residences at 3801 Biscayne Boulevard.
The desk keeps the list to congregations with a published address. Service times and affiliations change; the congregation’s own site is the source.
Surfside and Bal Harbour. Harding Avenue in Surfside, one block west of Collins between 94th and 96th Streets, carries the densest cluster of kosher restaurants, bakeries and cafés in the north of the county, ~0.5 miles from Rivage. Bay Harbor Islands, across the Kane Concourse bridge, adds several more.
Sunny Isles Beach. Collins Avenue between 181st and 183rd Streets, directly across from Bentley Residences and ~0.5 miles from the St Regis: a 24-hour kosher market at 18220 Collins, and restaurants along the same block, 18110 to 18288 Collins, under ORB, OK and Kosher Miami supervision, per the Chabad of Miami Beach and gokosher directories. Milam’s Market at 17100 Collins stocks kosher meat, poultry and Cholov Yisroel dairy, per Chabad of Sunny Isles Beach.
Aventura and North Miami Beach. The widest choice of kosher markets and restaurants in the county sits across the causeways from Sunny Isles, along West Dixie Highway, NE 163rd Street and around the Michael-Ann Russell JCC, a ten to fifteen minute drive, per the Chabad of Miami Beach and gokosher directories.
Miami Beach. 41st Street between Alton Road and Pine Tree Drive, Mid Beach, is the island’s kosher street, with several restaurants and bakeries under Kosher Miami and ORB supervision, ~1.5 miles from The Perigon and ~2.5 miles from Shore Club.
Brickell and Downtown. Brickell Kosher Deli, 35 SE 9th Street, inside the Rok Family Shul, glatt, Vaad Harabonim of Florida, open weekday lunch. It is the nearest kosher restaurant to Coconut Grove, per that Chabad’s own visitor page.
Edgewater and the Design District. Midtown Kosher, 211 NE 29th Street, ~0.4 miles from Villa Miami and ~0.7 miles from Kempinski. Beyond it the mainland relies on Miami Beach and Aventura.
Certification is the establishment’s and the certifier’s; the desk lists, it does not vouch.
Day schools. RASG Hebrew Academy, 2400 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach, ~2 miles from The Perigon. Lehrman Community Day School, 727 77th Street, Miami Beach, ~0.3 miles from Ocean Terrace. Scheck Hillel Community School, 19000 NE 25th Avenue, North Miami Beach, ~2.5 miles from the Sunny Isles buildings across the Sunny Isles Causeway.
Community centres. The Miami Beach JCC, 4221 Pine Tree Drive, Mid Beach. The Michael-Ann Russell JCC, 18900 NE 25th Avenue, North Miami Beach, the large campus serving Sunny Isles and Aventura. Neither Brickell nor Edgewater has a JCC; Downtown residents use Miami Beach.
Mikvah. On site at the Rok Family Shul in Brickell; in Surfside and Miami Beach through the Orthodox congregations named above; several in North Miami Beach and Aventura within a ten to fifteen minute drive of Sunny Isles, per the local kosher directories.
Enrolment, hours and access are set by each institution; the desk records where they are.
This page does the same thing the desk’s zone pages do for schools and hospitals: it records where institutions are, with addresses, so that a family can measure its own life against a map. It states no preference, describes no building’s residents, and recommends no building to anyone on any basis other than the facts a buyer chooses to weigh.
Everything on it is public and dated. Where a fact was found only in a directory rather than at the institution itself, the page says so. Where the desk finds an error, it corrects it within one working day and logs the correction on the corrections page.
Measure the walk yourself. Then ask the desk what the building is like on the other six days.
Walking distance to a congregation, an eruv boundary, a school run, a kosher kitchen nearby: these are facts about a building’s address, and the desk has them for every building it covers. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you which of the thirteen sit where you need them, and what else to check before you sign.
A private report on the Miami market, sent when there is something worth knowing. No noise, no listings, no pressure.
Received. A note from the desk is on its way. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, please check your spam folder and mark it as not spam, so we can reach you.
We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you which buildings sit where you need them, what else to check, and where we would not proceed. Where a question is legal, tax or immigration, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
