We launched a podcast channel on YouTube, The David Behar Show. We will be interviewing Young Jewish Professionals with the hope of connecting our community worldwide.
To date, we’ve set up dozens of young Jewish couples through introductions made by David Behar, Founder of MSC, and through our religious events.
Stay tuned for upcoming Sephardic Speed Dating event announcements. We’re working to decide event dates for December, January, and February. There will be in-person and virtual events added for the coming months.

Miami Sephardic Club is an international organization aimed at uniting Sephardic Jews across the world. We were featured in the hit Netflix series, Jewish Matchmaking, which debuted in May, 2023, alongside with our founder, David Behar. MSC was founded in 2021 in Miami by a diverse group of Young Sephardic Professionals who were looking to meet like-minded people. Our board today consists of approximately 50 professionals and 4 Sephardic rabbis.
MSC has held major events in Miami, which included a mix of religious focused events (shiurs, torah classes, etc.) and co-ed night events. Our night events have attracted crowds from 200 to 550+ people, including guests from Miami and other major world centers (Los Angeles, New York City, Mexico City, Panama City, etc.). We attract a crowd of Traditional and Modern Orthodox Jews who are here to meet like-minded people.
Aside from events, MSC operates men’s basketball and co-ed soccer and tennis clubs for the young Jewish community in Miami. We’ve also hosted an international Shabbaton trip to Panama in 2023.
We’re excited to continue uniting the international Sephardic community worldwide. Everything from Hashem.
