At CKids of Ville S. Laurent, we believe that children are the leading guarantors for our strong Jewish future and truly hold the power to change the world. Tzivos Hashem, literally translated as “The Army of Hashem,” prompts young soldiers to make the world a brighter place to live in.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, leader of the Chabad movement, founded Tzivos Hashem over 40 years ago. In a famous letter to someone who was concerned about the glorification of military and soldiers, the Rebbe wrote that he had pondered this problem at length: How can we communicate to children today the dedication and responsibility that comes along with being a Jew, and making the world a better place?
So the Rebbe created Tzivos Hashem—literally, an army. He gave the children a sense of pride, as they rose in rank in this army, and told them that they were on a special mission to defeat evil, model goodness, and make this world a divine home for its Maker, the Commander-in-Chief. The success was beyond measure, and children connected to a purpose-driven Judaism.
Tzivos Hashem teaches children how to stay committed to their values while taking an active role in making the world a better place. Children who enroll in Tzivos Hashem are proud to be a Jewish leader in their own life and feel the benefits of intentional and meaningful Judaism.
In Tzivos Hashem, students are motivated to do their daily missions of positivity by gaining points, earning medals, and getting promoted in ranks. Reaching a Major will also allow your child to join the International CKids Shabbaton - a weekend filled with trips, entertainment, and the Jewish pride of being with other Jewish children from across the world.
Monthly Rallies:
Once a month, Tzivos Hashem holds a rally highlighting Jewish birthdays and children who have gone up in rank. This gives each participant a moment to shine and the opportunity to showcase their achievements.
Tzivos Hashem rallies are definitely a highlight of our month. Once a month, CKids of Ville S. Laurent gathers all students for a school-wide rally. Together, we say a prayer for Israel and give charity to the less fortunate. We also celebrate the month’s Jewish birthdays, distribute medals to all of the children who went up in rank, and present the upcoming monthly mission of spreading kindness and light in the world.
In short, Tzivos Hashem rallies are an assembly of Jewish pride, connection, and commitment for the future.
