Disability Awareness & Advocacy

Silhouettes of diverse people in front of a colorful cityscape with rainbow arcs overhead.

Too many groups and individuals have historically been marginalized in Jewish spaces, including people with disabilities. We know that 1 in 4 people have a disability and while our Jewish community has made great strides in disability awareness, acceptance and inclusion, there is much work to do around access, reducing stigma and full belonging. We hold that communities must do more than welcome; they must be open to true transformation.
