JDAAIM 2020

February Is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month

Each February, Jewish communities throughout North America mark Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance and Inclusion Month (JDAAIM), highlighting our commitment to ensure equal access for all people, and the full participation of individuals with disabilities and special needs in religious and communal life. Thanks to the dedication of INCLUDE Beth Am, our congregation is making great strides toward achieving meaningful inclusion of all members.
