Breakfast and Basketball event with basketball star and trailblazer Tamir Goodman, dubbed the “Jewish Jordan” by Sports Illustrated magazine, Tamir Goodman will receive Temple Israel's humanitarian award for his devotion to Judaism and commitment to sportsmanship.

Tamir will speak on 'Life Lessons from the Basketball Court'

Tamir captured the public's attention as a top-ranked high school recruit and played Div.

I college basketball on an athletic scholarship while faithfully wearing a head covering and without playing on Friday night and Saturday (the Jewish Shabbat).

He was then recruited by powerhouse Maccabi Tel Aviv and played six professional seasons in Israel for some of the most competitive teams in Europe.

Retired from playing in 2009, Tamir has established his reputation as a speaker, author, coach, and educator.

He is on the forefront of informal Jewish education where he uses basketball to inspire youth to engage with their Judaism & use their talents to make a difference.

We hope that you will join us Father's Day morning for a great breakfast at TI of Natick & then for an afternoon of youth basketball clinics coached by Tamir at the Natick Community Senior Center.

These 30-minute clinics will start at 12:30pm and are for students in K-8 grades so reserve a basketball clinic spot.
