The Hope Station
The Hope Station is an interactive installation inspired by a bus stop – a small, comforting space that invites people to pause, breathe, connect, and be replenished. It offers a quiet moment of calm: a point of light that reminds us what truly matters and a gentle prompt toward strength, presence, and hope.
Designed with inspiring public design, accessible technology, and living, evolving content, the station delivers a short, meaningful multi‑sensory experience that opens a doorway to upliftment and belonging for all ages and environments. A nearby inviting seat encourages anyone who wants to linger a little longer to rest, breathe, and simply be -because sometimes a single pause can set a life in motion.
Research Based - Heart Driven
The Hope Station draws on neuroscience, positive psychology, and art therapy.

The Creator and the Creation
Merav Agam-Gabriel, founder of TIKVA2GO, has led the spread of hope, resilience, and unity across Israel since the war’s outset, driven by a deep sense of mission and backed by top professionals and many compassionate supporters.
As a designer and prolific creator, she developed a sister initiative to the Hope Table at Hostages Square in response to needs she encountered after October 7.
Designed like a bus-stop station, the installation anchors emotional strength and uplift-offering a space for positive expression, a moment of hope, and a simple yet powerful act of giving that speaks to diverse communities and the whole of Israel. It illuminates the meaningful, uplifting aspects of this time and provides a needed moment of comfort and renewal.
