Need a ride to attend a Tikvah event? We can help!  

• Every month Tikvah holds one or more big event with transportation available from the various neighborhoods that we serve. Transportation from hubs such as Kaiserman JCC, KleinLife, also various center city and suburban locations are included in the plans and fees for those events.

• For those Tikvah members who live in supported residential situations our staff will coordinate with the residential staff regarding program registration and transportation.

• Tikvah members who live independently or with family and need assistance with transportation should make that request when registering for a program online or through your phone squad captain at least one week prior to the desired activity. The Tikvah staff will contact you to arrange rides if appropriate. Those who are eligible should utilize the Septa paratransit system. Rides may also be provided through Tikvah’s Uber for Business membership. Tikvah will subsidize one ride per member per month.  Additional rides can be arranged if the member or a sponsor is able to pay for those rides. A ride sponsor may be a family member or an agency from whom the member receives other services.  

Introducing the Tikvah Arts & Crafts Collective.  

Do you enjoy drawing, jewelry making, needlework, painting, pottery, sculpture, woodworking?

Tikvah invites our members and those adjacent to them who create visual arts and crafts to come together for workshops, also to display and possibly sell their creations.
