Did you know February is National Jewish Disabilities Awareness Month? This is the first year that Jewish organizations, synagogues, and federations are banding together to help the Jewish community foster inclusion for people with disabilities.
Imagine the transformation that could occur if we all joined together in achieving the common goal of including people with disabilities in our Jewish organizations and communities. Imagine the opportunities that would arise if we simultaneously endeavored to raise awareness, increase educational and spiritual growth, and accept every individual in every aspect of the Jewish community.

This Sunday, February 22, the Jewish Disabilities Network is hosting a Jewish Disabilities Awareness Day event from 2 to 5 p.m. at Herzl/RMHA at the Denver Campus for Jewish Education.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature a presentation by guest speaker Dr. Jeffrey Lichtman, director of the Yachad/National Jewish Council for Disabilities, as well as entertaining and educational children’s activities for people of all ages. Kosher refreshments will be served.
We hope to see you there!
