TIKVAH MEANS HOPE

Tikvah Talk

November | 2024

PAST MONTH IN PHOTOS

In 2022 Tikvah rolled out our Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit initiative. Since then we have increased our common interest programs for members who participate together in arts & crafts, cooking, meditation, movement, and music activities that regularly increase their skills and empower them to form friendships with others who share their interests. Pictured are Tikvah members taking part in our Let's Get Crafty and Let's Get Musical monthly sessions.
