Miriam Sanua Dalin grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and attended James Madison High School, (as did Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bernie Sanders, and Chuck Schumer in earlier generations) and lived in Manhattan for several years before moving to Florida to take a position at Florida Atlantic University in the Department of History and the Jewish Studies Program, where she specializes in American Jewish history and the history of Israel. She attended Princeton University as an undergraduate and received her doctorate from Columbia University, and she also did graduate work at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She also studied Yiddish language and literature at New York’s YIVO Institute through its renowned summer immersion program. She has published widely, including three books and numerous articles including most recently an article about Jews and the 2016 Presidential election that was published in the American Jewish Year Book. She has been a scholar-in-residence and lecturer at numerous venues over the years in the New York and Boca Raton areas, including synagogues, Temples, community centers and residential communities. She served as the Academic Adviser on the Jewish community oral history project of the Boca Raton Historical Society and hopes to create an exhibition and book on the history of the Jews of Boca Raton.
