How Two Immigrants Changed Jewish Life in Florida

The National Jewish Retreat brought Alfred and Doris’s story full circle. The city of Doral, which once played host to the flocks of Jews hoping to emulate the culture of America’s elite, once again played host, this time to hundreds of proud Jews looking to immerse themselves in their heritage and celebrate their Judaism.

In a touching ceremony, the retreat welcomed Daniel Kaskel to the stage, grandson of Alfred and Doris Kaskel. Daniel was joined by Rabbi Avraham and Zelda Brashevitzky, the directors of Chabad of Doral, to whom he presented a special mezuzah to hang on their Chabad house.
