Beth Tikvah Foundation of Hamilton

What makes Beth Tikvah Foundation of Hamilton unique is our emphasis on providing Judaic programming and a Jewish environment for individuals accessing our services. This encourages individuals to develop spiritually and grow to feel a connection and sense of belonging to their roots, culture and community. There are no requirements for staff or volunteers at Beth Tikvah to be Jewish or to have any previous knowledge of Judaism. However, there is a requirement for all Beth Tikvah staff and volunteers working with Jewish clients, to have an open mind with respect to learning about Judaism. It is essential, as well, to keep in mind that because we are a faith-based agency, we recognize the importance of helping individuals of all faiths touch base with their roots, culture and heritage.
