About Pesach Tikvah

Pesach Tikvah was founded in 1983 with the vision of creating a supportive, healing environment for Jewish individuals and families grappling with mental health challenges and developmental disabilities. From its inception, the organization has been deeply rooted in a philosophy of dignity, compassion, and cultural understanding. Recognizing the need for a community-based approach, Pesach Tikvah partnered with local leaders and experts to design services tailored to the unique needs of the Jewish population.


At the heart of Pesach Tikvah’s philosophy lies a commitment to holistic care, which addresses not only the emotional and psychological well-being of its clients but also fosters resilience, connection, and a sense of belonging. The organization’s founders understood that for true healing to occur, services must be delivered in a way that respects and honors the traditions, values, and sensitivities of the Jewish community. This principle continues to guide every aspect of its work, ensuring that each client feels seen, heard, and valued.


The founding story of Pesach Tikvah is one of responding to an urgent call for help in the community. The organization grew out of a deep awareness that mental health and disability services were often inaccessible or misaligned with the cultural context of Jewish life. Over the decades, Pesach Tikvah has evolved into a trusted resource, serving as a bridge between evidence-based practices and its clients' unique cultural frameworks.
