We all experience our Jewish identity in unique and special ways. The Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center is the center for Jewish life that engages, enriches, and enhances all types of connections with Judaism. We pride ourselves on being South Florida’s most innovative spiritual home. Together, we embrace our ancient traditions in contemporary ways. Our creative holiday celebrations consistently recapture our ancestors’ joy, reimagine their timeless teachings, and forge new connections with our children, elders, and everyone in between. Our rabbis foster intellectual curiosity, interpreting thousands of years of wisdom to respond to questions of the 21st century. The diversity of our membership ensures you’ll feel at home, whether that means joining a book club, volunteering to help the needy, participating in a Spanish-language service, studying Talmud, or enrolling your children in our creative education programs. Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center is a home for the way Judaism lives in you.
Our congregation is passionate about knowledge, study and reflection. We learn ancient texts and debate how they still speak to us in modern times. As a hub of lifelong learning, the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center commits itself to being a living classroom at every phase of life: our Tauber Academy provides a sought-after full-day early-childhood program from newborn through kindergarten. Our supplementary “Hebrew’s Cool” youth education leverages music, cooking, storytelling, and community service to infuse our children with a love of Judaism. B’nai mitzvah students and teens grades 7 to 10 plan a wide range of social and cultural events before, during and after their milestone moment. Adult education is the rising star of our learning programming, with a growing list of a wide range of one-time classes, multi-session programs, and ongoing series. In our congregation, our hearts and minds are always growing and expanding
Judaism transcends nationality and language, and so does our congregation. As a leading congregation , our services are centered with Hebrew prayers and traditional readings from the Torah and Haftarah. Participants in our egalitarian daily minyan, in which both women and men are counted equally, will recognize the nusach/melodies of our parents, grandparents, and ancestors. Our Shabbat and holiday services are conducted in English with explanatory commentary on the liturgy and sermons, study sessions, or dialogues from one or both of our rabbis.
South Florida is one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting places, and Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center embodies that global flavor. The breadth and diversity of our congregation ensures there is a comfortable home for everyone. Our mutual love and respect for one another ensures we all come together in fellowship.
