South Caulfield Hebrew Congregation - An evening with the "Jewish Jordan"
Dubbed "The Jewish Jordan" by Sports Illustrated in 1999, Tamir Goodman is a former professional basketball player and current successful entrepreneur, coach, educator and motivational speaker.
Tamir was ranked the 25th best high school player in the country. He gained national attention after averaging over 35 points per game his junior year, all while remaining faithful to his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. Tamir was named MVP of the prestigious "Capital Classic All-Star Game," an award won by Shaquille O'Neal, Lebron James and other stars.
Tamir then made history as the first Jewish basketball player to play D-I college and professional basketball without playing on the Jewish Sabbath. Despite receiving a full scholarship to number-one ranked University of Maryland, Tamir chose to play for D-I Towson University, as their schedule better accommodated his religious observance.
The first freshman to start at Towson in over a decade, Tamir was presented the Coach's Award for his performance on the court and in the classroom.
