What's new with Tikvah?!
Facebook Community NEW

We are excited to launch Tikvah's first online community! Through our Facebook page we have created a community online forum where members can stay in touch after events are over and hear about events coming up too! We plan to make this online community a private online space just for members. If you are interested or have questions about how to join, our communications manager Carter Freedlander (carter@tikvahajmi.org) would be happy to help!

Tikvah's Friends and Family
Tikvah is growing and we need your help!  Join a committee:

Contact Tikvah Program Manager Barbara Ponzcek, (bponzek@tikvahajmi.org) for more information or to volunteer.  

Outreach Committee: Chaired by Tikvah Board Members Michael Solomon and Robert Wenger.  Plan and implement our outreach to organizations in the greater Philadelphia area to introduce Tikvah. Organizations will include but not be limited to mental health providers and faith institutions.
