Welcome to Mensch University at Congregation Kol Tikvah!

Mensch University is our special Jewish learning program for kids, designed to help them explore what it means to be Jewish in a fun and meaningful way. We believe learning about Jewish traditions, values, and history should be hands-on, exciting, and connected to real life. At Mensch U, students don’t just sit and listen—they celebrate holidays, try new activities, work on community projects, and discover their own unique Jewish identity. It’s a place where kids can ask questions, build friendships, and feel proud to be part of the Jewish people.

Our program helps children grow their knowledge and spirit, while creating lasting connections to God, Israel, and the Jewish community. We invite every child to join us on this journey of discovery, learning, and belonging.

We are excited to launch enrollment registration for the 2025–2026 year of Mensch University! Over the past six months, our professional team has thoughtfully reimagined and enhanced elements of the Mensch University curriculum. We are confident that this year’s program will deeply enrich and engage your children, while strengthening their connection to Judaism, their Jewish identity, and our vibrant community.

We also understand the financial challenges many families face, and how commitments like religious school can feel negotiable. But we know how essential Jewish community, identity, and friendship are to our children’s well-being and future—and Mensch U is built to support that growth through fun, creativity, learning, and connection.

What’s New This Year:

  • The 2025–2026 Mensch University Calendar features hands-on workshops, creative Jewish experiences, and dynamic opportunities for teens to connect with their community and each other.
  • Youth group membership fees are now included in Mensch U registration, giving your child access to even more opportunities for social and spiritual growth throughout the year.

      *Please note: Some special events or trips may still require separate registration or fees.
