Welcome to the Jewish Learning Cooperative of HAMAKOM! (AKA Religious School). We see ourselves as a hub where children and their families can experience Judaism in a meaningful, natural, and comfortable environment. Our name tells you all about us. 

JEWISH LEARNING 

Learning is at the core of what it means to be Jewish. At the JLC, our goal is to be a place where children enjoy learning about what it means to be a Jewish person in the 21st century. We help children understand their Jewish past so that they can have a meaningful Jewish present and build a successful Jewish future. We do so using an educational model that offers families with children in grades K-6 customization and flexibility to meet the needs and demands of a modern family schedule. We also offer learning and leadership opportunities for youth in grades 7-12.  

JEWISH LIVING 

At the JLC, we understand that Judaism is not just meant to be studied; it is meant to be lived. Our educational program is built on experiential learning — a pedagogy that emphasizes students partaking in and creating their own learning opportunities. We don’t discuss Judaism; we do Judaism.
