Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a safe and positive space for children to explore the beauty and wonder of Judaism.

At Tamim Punta Gorda, we welcome children and parents into a community of meaningful and authentic Judaism. Together, we form a wholesome family in which all are encouraged to learn, discover, and explore their Jewish identities and futures.

Through the various programming and events that Tamim Punta Gorda has to offer, each child and parent will have a space where they can feel comfortable developing their sense of self, community, and friendships. We believe each child is special and should be celebrated for their unique qualities.

Children who attend Tamim Punta Gorda understand that the Jewish heritage is his/hers to cherish. We believe that curiosity is a virtue, and that every question should be asked.

The outcome is a strong future of Jewish continuity, where every boy and girl holds pride in their heritage and feels confident using Torah values as a guide to make well-balanced life decisions.

“If we moved out here to Punta Gorda, just so that one child should be able to receive a Jewish education, than our move and work of all these years is worthwhile.”
