K'nafayim, Inc. was founded as a response to the increasingly challenging social and cultural environment in which our families are trying to survive and thrive.  A generational shift has led to significant differences in the way we parent today; awareness of child sexual abuse and the need to guard against it has risen; the problems in the shidduch world are ongoing; the sanctity of marriage is assailed from all sides.  This is not to paint a bleak picture of our future, but rather to shore up our conviction of the importance of our work.

​

K'nafayim aims to provide access to affordable education and counseling for families.  Preventing domestic violence and child sexual abuse is far better than treating them.  Guiding our children along the dating process is much preferred to addressing aging singles and young divorced couples.  Helping parents learn to navigate the childrearing process is better than
picking up the pieces of a family in turmoil later on. 

 

Unfortunately, classes can be expensive and health insurance
doesn't pay for them.  Nor will it pay for marriage or family therapy
unless one of the parties involved is diagnosed with a mental or
medical illness.  K'nafayim is working to develop a funding base to
provide these services at a cost everyone can afford.

​

K'nafayim, Inc. provides services to people in need, without regard to religion, level of observance, race, color, class, ethnicity, or national origin.
