Jewish Experiences Up and Down the Mountain
Tawonga. Every season. Always home.
We believe that immersing children in community building, Jewish values and nature helps them become their best selves. They use the experience of Tawonga to make the world a better place.

Remembering 10/7 and Holding Our Community
As we mark one year since October 7th, 2023, we are thinking of our Tawonga family and our entire Jewish community. We continue to mourn and feel deep anguish over the devastating attacks in Israel on that day. As Jews, we recognize the principle of Pikuach Nefesh – the sanctity of all human life. And so we mourn all innocent life taken – in Israel, in Gaza and throughout the wider region as the war has escalated. Below, see community resources to remember and mourn.
