We're proud of our congregations featured in this piece, who are known as exemplar congregations in the area of inclusive b'nei mitzvah, as part of the URJ Ruderman Disabilities Inclusion Initiative. Read how they and others are paving the way: #JDAIM20 hadassahmagazine.org/2019/12…

B'nei Mitzvah With Disabilities Find Their Way to the Bimah

Technology plus a new understanding of inclusion has opened doors for children with a range of disabilities to celebrate their bar or bat mitzvahs.

@SenDuckworth receives an award on #JDAD2020. She noted that even she has to work hard to get around to places non-disabled people take for granted on Capitol Hill. She said to remember that this is your house, the people's house, and to hold your representatives accountable!
