"Hasidah believes having Jewish children is a birthright and the community has a responsibility to help make that happen. Raising a Jewish family is already expensive. Conceiving a child should not be a financial hardship. .... Hasidah is the Hebrew word for stork. The root of the word (Hsd) means loving-kindness. Storks have a long history of being associated with fertility, families and the arrival of babies. Hasidah was founded on the belief that one of the greatest gifts of loving-kindness is helping couples struggling with infertility to become parents."
