Tikvah friends:

With the recent increase in COVID-19 contagion our priority is to keep everyone safe. For the month of February Tikvah members and guests will gather only virtually. When the number of COVID cases comes down we will return to a mixed access schedule of in-person and virtual programs.

Tikvah members will also stay connected through our phone squad network of members who make calls to others in Tikvah twice each month to share news of upcoming programs and generally check in.

I am working with the staff and the Board of Directors to plan opportunities for us to be together as soon as it is safe to do that. In the meantime, stay safe and well!
