Religious School (Tots – 8th grade)

Welcome,

By sending your children to Kol Tikvah for their Jewish education, you are creating a second home for them, one filled with kindness, caring, and inclusion. Isn’t that what we want for our children, a home away from home, a community that embraces them fully? That’s our goal. Period. It permeates everything we do. 

Our Kol Tikvah Religious School and Youth Programs provide a supportive environment where every child feels valued, heard, and appreciated. We believe in active engagement, hands-on participation, and innovative teaching, tailored to diverse learning styles and needs. Our programs offer activities that create a sense of belonging for students and their families. Through hands-on and experiential programs, we connect each child to their Jewish identity.

Kol Tikvah embraces the diverse makeup of the Los Angeles Jewish community– Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, Jews of color, Jews by birth and Jews by choice, cisgender, transgender, straight and LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodiverse and traditional learners, differently abled individuals, and anyone and everyone in between. We are a community designed with inclusion at its core. We are excited to welcome you to our home and look forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and connection.

Rabbi Jon Hanish, Melissa Shenkin Saunders, Mollie Leibowitz, and Dr. Joel Stein
