Professionals and community leaders often want to support individuals and families facing infertility but may feel unsure how to do so with the right language, sensitivity, or awareness. At Yesh Tikva, we help professionals show up informed, compassionate, and prepared.
We provide education, training, and practical tools for rabbis, educators, clinicians, social workers, healthcare providers, clergy, and community leaders seeking to better understand infertility and complex family-building journeys within a Jewish context.
Through workshops, trainings, and evidence-informed resources, we work to reduce stigma, build cultural competence, and equip professionals to support individuals with care, without assumptions, judgment, or harm.
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 raise awareness and foster sensitivity around infertility and reproductive health across 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.
Yesh Tikva’s goal is to empower those facing infertility with tools, resources, and compassionate spaces that help them care for their emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. By fostering resilience and self-support, we remind each person that their needs matter and that they are not alone on this journey.

Yesh Tikva, Hebrew for “There is Hope,” was established to end the silence and create a Jewish Community of support. Yesh Tikva has two primary goals: To provide free, professional psychosocial services and resources to those struggling with infertility; and to raise awareness and sensitivity about infertility throughout the Jewish community.
Yesh Tikva serves people in the Jewish community struggling with infertility: couples, single women, those dealing with primary or secondary infertility and third party reproduction (surrogacy).
Gila Muskin Block, Elie Haller Salomon, Randi Goldfarb, Miriam Pineles and Dalia Shulman started Yesh Tikva to ensure that no one should face a fertility diagnosis alone.
