The Hanish Family Fund for Inclusion
Lisa and Rabbi Jon Hanish have spent the past 12 years helping Kol Tikvah become a community of inclusion for all of the West Valley Jewish Community. They have inspired a welcoming community and have received countless honors and recognition for their work with LGBTQ, Mental Health Awareness and the community at large.
In their honor, the Gala Fund A Need 2023 will establish The Hanish Family Fund for Inclusion.
From this fund, the Kol Tikvah community will be reminded with every program, every service and every expense to always consider the needs of our whole community, to honor and celebrate the uniqueness of everyone in our Kehillah.
