Mission
The Jewish Outreach Initiative of Orlando, or as its fondly known, JOIN, was founded in 2014 to serve Orlando’s growing Jewish population and expanding educational needs. At the core of JOIN is a fundamental belief that every Jew deserves a meaningful, unique, positive and lasting relationship with Hashem, G-d, and the Torah.
JOIN has built an engaged, thriving community of members dedicated to strengthening their Jewish identity. Our goal is to provide Jews across Central Florida with a connection to their heritage and pathways to discover their own unique role within the Jewish people.
OFFERINGS
JOIN offers engaging classes and programs for the entire family, from tweens to grandparents, regardless of background or affiliation. Whether one is newly discovering their Jewish roots or has lifelong Jewish communal involvement - everyone has a place at JOIN to call home and to empower themselves and their soul. Our seasoned educators and various divisions (Men, SPARK, JSU, Couples and Family) focus concurrently on individual demographics within the Jewish family along with programming for the family as a whole.
JOIN has built a network of Orlandonians seeking inspirational, educational Jewish experiences, deeply steeped with traditional Jewish sources and lasting connection to our valued heritage. JOIN’s goal is to share as widely as possible our love and passion for Judaism, the Jewish people, and the State of Israel.
