Hasidah’s mission is to build awareness in the Jewish community about infertility, provide emotional and spiritual support resources, and provide financial assistance for treatment. Our ultimate goal is to help build Jewish families. Guiding both the work we do and how we do it are the following values:
• Family (Mishpacha) – We believe that family is the core source of strength for Jewish community and life.
• Loving-kindness (Hesed) – Treating our clients, partners, donors, and colleagues with care, compassion, and respect reflects our belief in the infinite value of every person.
• Collaboration – We believe success for our clients is achieved through partnerships, alliances, support networks, and teamwork.
Hasidah has helped over twenty five babies into this world, with over ten more families in the making. We have served hundreds of clients for various support, provided almost two hundred rabbis with spiritual resources and training, and connected with scores of organizations for awareness and partnerships. Hasidah runs several monthly support programs, semi-annual IVF grant cycles, awareness campaigns, and several community programs each year. We are a small organization with a dedicated staff that is flexible and supportive of each other.
