"THE TIKKUN OLAM PROJECTS
HAVE HELPED ME TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT
IT MEANS TO REPAIR THE WORLD."
– Sophie Sklar, Class of 2012
Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, defines us as responsible global citizens. An integral part of
RHA learning, Tikkun Olam opens our children's eyes to the world around them and teaches
them to live their lives with kindness, charity, empathy and gratitude.
Every class at RHA is involved in social responsibility, cultural diversity and appreciating the plight of
others. Our students support families and charities in need with donations of money and supplies.
School-wide Tzedaka initiatives include clothing drives, packing Passover boxes for disadvantaged
families, book collections for Toronto's less advantaged schools, letter-writing to victims of natural
disasters, poppy sales for veterans, concerts for the aged at Baycrest, and projects for children's
hospitals. Our students sit on committees ranging from Social Action to Eco Club. As part of our
Read-a-Thon, 10% of the money raised goes to a middle school in need of books. And as our grade
eight students prepare to graduate, they add to our Legacy Project by helping families provide their
children with an RHA education.
Our sense of citizenship is predicated on the notion that multiple viewpoints, with a strong
commitment to global awareness, is essential in today's world.
