Partial Transcript: Hollywood didn't have a branch. We started with other group of people. They were 1064. But we met in North Miami Beach and this was for a long, long time. We met and it was very active, very active branch. I believe it started in 1966—'67 and was very active till about '92—'93. But then the reason the branch is not there anymore, because there were no leaders, people that want to work and not new members coming in like other—all the other branches.

Partial Transcript: Well, this is not nothing to—well, yes, something to do with the Workmen's Circle. They used to have artists coming to Miami Beach, but we have Yiddish theaters in Miami Beach. Not—what I know about—not—only for the season. During the season they used to come, not in the summer, no. Well, Perlman, I remember and—my memory.

Partial Transcript: I—my opinion is that temples took over the Jewish life from Miami in a good sense. But that was—all the concerts and speeches and big writers coming now to the temples. Yes, those small organizations like the Workmen's Circle, they don't—they don't do much—no.

Partial Transcript: Yiddish life in Argentina was very good, very liberal—most of the people—not so much religious. People—because—I will not say anti-Semitism because I didn't suffer it myself.

And all your friends are Jewish, and your children go to school, but after school, they go to another school where there's only Jewish kids, and it's different.
