Facing infertility and complex family building can be an isolating and overwhelming journey, filled with stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges. No one should have to navigate it alone.
Yesh Tikva–Hebrew for “There is Hope”—was founded to break the silence and build a compassionate, informed, and supportive Jewish community for those experiencing infertility.
Our mission is twofold:
To provide free, professional psychosocial and peer support, reproductive health education, and practical resources to individuals and couples facing infertility.
To provide free, professional psychosocial and peer support, reproductive health education, and practical resources to individuals and couples facing infertility. To raise awareness and foster sensitivity around infertility and reproductive health within the Jewish community.
In creating a space of hope, connection, and understanding, we extend our hands and open our hearts. Reach out—because no one should walk this path alone.
We empower those navigating infertility and family building with the emotional and practical tools they need. We offer peer supportive spaces, 1:1 mentorship, guides and resources, educational workshops, personal story-sharing platforms, and community events. We serve all types of Jewish families pursuing all pathways to parenthood. Our resources are equally for those pursuing donor conception, surrogacy, and adoption for any reason or identity. We also are here to support those considering remaining childless due to fertility issues or other circumstance.
At the same time, Yesh Tikva works to destigmatize infertility and reproductive health discussions. Infertility has been a taboo topic for too long—it’s time to give Infertility a voice. Through education and advocacy, we strive to increase awareness and equip the broader community with the knowledge and sensitivity to support those who may be suffering in silence.
If you are a member of the Jewish community dealing with infertility, Yesh Tikva is holding space for you. We are here for all Jews, across every branch and background – no matter your level of observance, ritual practice, or belief. We are simply here to meet you wherever you are. Whether you identify as Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, secular, or still searching for your place in Judaism, we are here for you. With peer supportive spaces, 1:1 peer mentorship, resources to guide you through your infertility journey and beyond.
Yesh Tikva works to educate, raise awareness and sensitivity about infertility in the broader Jewish community. As more people understand the many issues surrounding infertility, they can better support those experiencing infertility.
1 in 6 couples in America is diagnosed with infertility each year. You may not notice them but they are your family members, friends, community members, neighbors and work colleagues. Yesh Tikva’s mission is to help them feel less isolated and more emotionally included.
Yesh Tikva uses educational guides, peer mentors, training for Rabbis and community leaders.
By providing direct support to those facing infertility and raising awareness to those in their personal and communal circles, Yesh Tikva creates a Jewish community of support.
Yesh Tikva’s staff brings a rare blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and deep compassion to every facet of our work. With backgrounds in mental health, education, community-building, and Jewish life, our team is dedicated to supporting those navigating infertility with dignity, knowledge, and genuine care. We meet individuals and families exactly where they are—offering tools, guidance, and connection every step of the way.
Our Board of Directors is composed of thoughtful, committed leaders who steward Yesh Tikva’s mission with wisdom and heart. They bring diverse skills in nonprofit governance, strategic planning, finance, community engagement, and Jewish leadership—ensuring our work remains ethical, sustainable, and deeply responsive to the needs of those we serve. Their vision and partnership make our impact possible.
Yesh Tikva, Hebrew for “There is Hope,” was established to end the silence and create a Jewish Community of support.
