About Tefillin International Academy (TIA)
Tefillin International Academy (TIA) was created with the aim of spreading the Bible recitation learning method “Tefillin Education” to the whole world, which the Jewish people have passed down for over2500 years. Our particular focus is children from the age of 4 to 14, teaching them so they can make the Word of God their standard of value on all things, basing their judgment and actions on the Bible.
Therefore, we educate our students by making them recite the Word of God when they wake up in the morning, sleep at night, walk down the road, so that it will become part of them. When the Word is engraved in the hearts of children and overflows, their character, intelligence, health, and behavior will be prepared, polished and heightened in every aspect. We will nurture future world leaders who will rebuild this world into a God-pleasing “tove” (perfect, beautiful, good) condition.

Monitoring Volunteers
Participants for article content Monitoring Volunteers wanted
We are looking for families or churches that practice Tefillin Education and can volunteer as monitors in cooperating with the production of articles.
Tefillin Education brings about significant results by families and churches working as one.
Pastors of Korean churches first practiced Tefillin in their own homes, and witnessed the change in their children,
Many church members were eager to participate and began to practice it. Now, we have inquiries from other churches and parents as well.
The family of pastors in China’s largest church practice Tefillin Education and are now practicing tefillin (Scripture reciting) in Chinese, English, Hebrew, Greek, and Japanese.
Also in Japan, work has begun among believers in Yokohama City (Kanagawa Pref.) and Narita City (Chiba Pref.).
Online communication using Skype and other video chat tools is also possible,
so if you are interested, please contact us and we will be happy to explain the details.
