Did You Know that February is Jewish Disability Awareness Month?

The mission of Jewish Disability is to unite Jewish communities and organizations for the purpose of raising awareness and supporting meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities and their families in every aspect of Jewish life.

On Sunday, February 21st, the Jewish Disabilities Network will host the 2nd annual Jewish Disabilities Awareness Day from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center. Shelly Christensen, a noted advocate, author and speaker on behalf of Jewish people with disabilities, and performing artists from PHAMALY (The Physically Handicapped Actors and Musical Artists League) will be featured at this free community event.

We hope you will join us at Jewish Disabilities Awareness Day on February 21st. It promises to be a fun, educational, and inspirational afternoon!
