Gauden's is hosted by the organization, Tzaddi, which was chartered and granted government recognition in 1964. In a group ruling in 1977 the federal government granted Tzaddi the authority to found and operate tax-exempt subordinate organizations. Gauden's professional development programs are our outreach to helping professionals of all backgrounds, who can benefit from and contribute to our culture of supervision, relational ethics, and spiritual awareness. Gauden's divinity programs are the seminary programs for new Tzaddi ordainees.
