Creating Hope Projects

You can create hope through chesed: small acts of love and support. It only takes one project at a time.

Yesh Tikva’s Creating Hope Projects are a hands-on way to support individuals and couples facing infertility and complex family-building through simple, meaningful projects that bring real comfort and awareness to the community.

Our projects are perfect for: 

Synagogue Groups
B’nai mitzvah projects
Chesed Clubs
Afterschool Programs
Synagogue youth groups
Retreats
Scouting Projects
Senior Living Communities Family/Community Gatherings
Friend Groups
Family Endeavors

Why Do These Projects Matter?

Bring real comfort.

The items you create become part of Yesh Tikva’s Care Packages of Hope and are sent to Jews across the country facing infertility. They serve as a tangible reminder of care and connection in a painful, often isolating season. 

Help end the silence in Jewish spaces.

These projects support Yesh Tikva’s mission to reduce stigma and build sensitivity around infertility and complex family-building. Every group event helps break the silence. You’re making it easier for people to talk about infertility and families coming together in all ways with more openness, care, and understanding.

Put Jewish values into action.

Infertility and complex family building is our areyvut (ah-ray-VOOT, mutual responsibility). When more of us show up for people who are quietly carrying a lot, the load lightens.

Create ripple effects.

Your one hands-on project will help others learn how to be more thoughtful, inclusive, and supportive. You’re shaping how your community shows up for those who need them.

Challah Bake

A meaningful gathering with a soul-warming touch

Bake challah and bring awareness and knowledge to your community

Your challah bake brings friends, families, and communities together to break the silence around infertility and complex family-building.
