Making Jewish Life Accessible: A Virtual Convening
Thursday, February 27
2pm-4:30pm ET
On Thursday, February 27 from 2pm-4:30pm, we are hosting a free, accessible, and virtual gathering of professionals to explore how we can collaborate, support, and inspire each other as we advance our goal of making Jewish life more accessible. The event will include a panel discussion of accessibility experts and Jewish professionals, in addition to open mingles to network with attendees from other organizations that are working in this space. Our featured panelists are accessibility advocate and leader Rabbi Lauren Tuchman, Congregation Kerem Shalom's Rabbi Darby Leigh, Matan's Senior Director of Programs and Partnerships Meredith Polsky, and congregant Jessi Elana Aaron. The panel will be facilitated by Debbie Joseph. Zoom Captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided at the event.
