Congregation Tikkun Olam
Children's Religious Education

Congregation Tikkun Olam's religious school welcomes all children in second grade through eighth grade. Students are given the opportunity to learn about their heritage, customs, rituals, and the Hebrew language. We hold an annual Children’s Service which is organized and led entirely by our religious school students to give them the opportunity to practice the songs, prayers and Hebrew that they have learned during the year.
 
Children learn through a variety of activities including discussion, problem solving, music, arts, texts, prayer books, and the Torah. Topics discussed during the school year include the Ten Commandments, Jewish holidays, Jewish culture and history, life cycles, Jewish decision-making, and charitable efforts. Hebrew is taught along with songs and prayers. We use an interactive program which allows the students freedom to express their opinions and share ideas. Family, home and community are emphasized, and parent participation is encouraged.
We strive to teach ways in which we can incorporate Judaism into daily life. It is our goal that each student truly learn what it means to be Jewish and how to "Tikkun Olam" (repair the world). Each year, we explore ways in which we can reach out into the community to do our part in social action and to make the world a more inviting place.  With this in mind, we have established a policy to offer a scholarship to any of our students in good standing to wish to pursue an activity that would enhance their Jewish education and identity while giving back to our congregation.  Click here for a link to the scholarship policy. 

Our annual requirements are simple:
- 80% attendance at class. If there is an absence, please call a teacher.
-Provide one Oneg Shabbat for the congregation.
- Attend a minimum of two Shabbat services per school year.
- Fees must be current or arrangements made in advance.

Classes meet from 9:00 a.m. to noon on alternate Sunday mornings from September through May. Private B'Nai Mitzvah tutoring is also offered to prepare our students to be called to the Torah.
