Education

Education Department Philosophy - There are numerous injunctions in Scripture which command us to teach Torah. None is more imperative than the commission given to followers of Yeshua HaMashiakh upon His exit from the earth to sit down at The Father’s right hand (Mk 16:19). “Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age." CJB (see also Mt 28:19-20) 

Children

Nursery and Preschool Class (ages 0-4) - Please sign-up all young children before Shabbat Service with one of the nursery/preschool volunteers who greet parents with young children at the door (look for the person with the blue clipboard in hand). Nursery workers devote their time with caring for the children (ages 0-2) and teaching the older children (ages 3-4) how to worship through reading and other activities.  

Young Children (Ages 5-8) - After graduation from the PreSchool program, the children are promoted to the next phase of teaching. The class meets during the time of the sermon. The teachings focus on stories from Torah appropriate to this particular age group. 

Children (Ages 9-11) - This class meets during the sermon, and follows a curriculum for children in a Messianic home. Jewish family life, living a Jewish life in Messiah, learning more about the festival are the main ideas. Prepares them for making decisions about Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation with the Rabbi.  Contact Children's Education Director.

Youth

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Preparation for Young Adulthood (Age 11-13) - In order to transition our children from childhood to adulthood, we focus on activities which promote them from being a receiver to a giver within the kehilat. We provide the basics for reading Hebrew, reciting the blessings upon reading Torah/Haftorah/Brit Khadasha, preparing their first drash, and how to dress the Torah. This class will lead to a promotion within the life of the congregation and may be taken concurrently with formal training with the Rabbi for Bar/Bat Mitzvah. We also discuss Torah application to the life choices teenagers will be forced to make.  Contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Study - This is study with the Rabbi in order to provide leadership during the Torah Service as a statement of one’s commitment to Messianic Jewish study of Torah, a life of love to the congregation, and willingness to learn and practice servant leadership in the community. Parents of children need to talk to the Rabbi as soon as the decision is made to do the study.

The Vision of Or HaOlam:

Working to bring Jewish people, and those grafted in, to their covenantal identity in Messiah.  Implies: 1.) Salvation through the Atonement of the Messiah; personal faith in the atoning death and resurrection of Yeshua; it's all about the King  2.) Covenantal identity of Jewish people, not replacement  3.) Restoration to Torah lifestyle  4.) Restoration/survival of the nation of Israel. (Covenantal identity, so Jewish believers don't assimilate.  Romans 11:15 "For if their casting Yeshua aside means reconciliation for the world, what will their accepting him mean?  It will be life from the dead!)
