| Congregation Tikkun Olam
"Congregation Tikkun Olam embraces Jewish heritage, culture, and religious philosophy. Our congregants are not divided by differences, but bonded by shared values, individual freedom and the quest for spirituality."
Congregation Tikkun Olam, McHenry County's only Reform Jewish congregation,
was founded in 1996. We are a rapidly growing congregation that respects
religious diversity. Our mission is "to improve the world" through our
Judaism and participation in our community."
Through the gracious gift of members volunteering their time and talents, our
congregation functions as more of a havurah, without its own building,
full-time rabbi, or staff. This enables us to keep our
membership rates
low, while still offering a full range of programs for our members.
We hold Shabbat services on the
fourth Friday of each month, High Holy Day services, and periodic holiday
celebrations and additional services. You and your family are welcome to
attend any time.
Our religious school meets on alternate Sunday
mornings during the school year and offers students the opportunity to learn
in a supportive and interactive atmosphere. Private
B'Nai Mitzvah lessons are arranged to prepare our students to be
called before the Torah.
We have a Youth Group which enables our students to get together for both
social and service-oriented activities while fostering their Jewish
friendships outside the classroom. In addition, we offer a number of
adult programs with a variety of activities
specifically designed to perk an adult's interest.
We believe, as a congregation, that the best way to serve the needs of our
growing community is through the active participation of our members. We
invite all to join us at the monthly Board of Trustees meetings to share
ideas, programming enhancements, and for the chance to volunteer time and
talents.
If you have questions at any time, please call us at 815-334-7110 or use the
link at the bottom of each page on this website and we'll be sure to get back
to you.
Services are held at the
221 Dean Street, Woodstock, IL
(just off the Woodstock Square
at the corner of South and Dean Streets)
