February Fund in Focus: INCLUDE Beth Am
February Fund in Focus: Beth Am INCLUDE Fund
February is Jewish Disabilities Awareness Month, and Beth Am is honoring it with a variety of programs to educate and inspire action around Inclusion in our community and in the world. Here in our congregation we have made strides in providing access to our Youth Education programs for students who have special needs, developing customized approaches to learning and community engagement that fit each child. The INCLUDE Fund at Beth Am helps support this program, which has already meant so much to the families who need it. We encourage members to consider a donation to the INCLUDE Fund at their next family simcha!
For information about how to create your own named fund in support of Beth Am programs and activities, please contact Director of Development Mandy Eisner, (650) 493-4661, ext. 211. We welcome your donation to this and other important funds that provide resources for our congregation.
