As Disability Pride Month comes to a close and Tu b’Av draws near, we present the community with a Disabilities Inclusion Torah Reader. The need to create religious communities that are fully embracing and empowering of all members is a matter of high priority for us at YCT (1/3)
and lies at the heart of what the traditional circle-dance celebration of Tu b’Av represents: a community in which pains are taken to make sure that no one feels lesser or marginalized, a community in which everyone is included and everyone has equal access. (2/3)
We hope that you are enriched by the Torah in this Reader and that it can help inspire and motivate all of us to do our share to create truly welcoming religious communities.
