Just 12 miles south of downtown Miami, The Hub at Temple Beth Am is emerging as a vibrant cultural arts and community center that’s redefining South Miami’s creative scene through food, laughter, and connection. Rooted in a 70-year legacy of Jewish heritage and inclusive spirit, The Hub brings together world-class talent and meaningful experiences designed to unite people through culture.
Under the direction of Anita Braham Peters, The Hub’s mission is simple yet powerful: to create a welcoming space where creativity, storytelling, and shared joy thrive. Its two cornerstone series — Chef’s Table and Comedy at The Hub — celebrate the art of gathering, featuring renowned chefs, authors, and performers who engage audiences through food, laughter, and conversation.
