“Tikvat Yisrael strives to create a better Jewish community by creating programs that have high Impact, engender Cognizance and illuminate Diversity both in individuals and the larger community in order to train a generation: giving them the skills, language and experience to proactively engage Jewish community-building in their communities of the future.”

Tikvat Yisrael seeks to train its program attendees in Jewish community-building such that they have the language, skills and first-hand experiences to engage Jewish communal diversity, particularly in the prayer/liturgy/ritual realms, in a proactive and constructive way. The organization seeks to accomplish this by advancing three pillars: the programs should have an impact, both on individuals and on the larger community; the community should foster cognizance so that the attendees are consciously aware of the unique nature of the experience they’ve had with the community; and an ongoing commitment to diversity, seeking to continually reach out to as broad a cross-section of the Jewish community as possible, so as to give its programs the greatest chances to advance our mission.
