Hello! And welcome to Tikun, London’s only boutique Jewish Education organization specifically engaging young couples. If you’re looking for meaning, genuine spiritual growth and to be part of a lively network of peers who share in your ideals and stage of life, then Tikun is for you!
We are a vibrant social and learning hub for young Jewish couples and seriously-minded singles.
To help young Jewish couples and seriously-minded singles find meaning in their Jewish identity, whatever their level of religious observance, while providing easy opportunities to make a difference to our world.
Our values guide our engagement, both as an organisation and as individuals:
[1] Quality: Designed for real people.
We care about people, not numbers. That’s why our events and programmes prioritise the quality of the relationship not the quantity of connections.
[2] Variety: One size never fits all.
When it comes to Jewish identity, one size never fits all. We have no box to fit you into. We simply provide an environment where you can find your own wisdom.
[3] Practical Idealism: Head in the clouds, feet on the ground.
Our head might be in the clouds but our feet are firmly on the ground. Great and lasting change must be based on realistic foundations because social responsibility is more than just a buzzword.
[4] Integrity: Imitation is for dummies
We leave the sparkle for the celebrities and we don’t believe in ‘faking it’. We allow our values and core truths to guide as an organisation and as individuals. Click here to see our core truths.
Yes, our heads do look nice in little circles, but we are so much more than just pretty faces.
