Disabilities aren’t always visible but they are still real. Howard Blas holds masters degrees in both Social Work and Special Education.  He has dedicated his career to supporting those with special needs.  Part of that support is working with the communities in which those with special needs engage.

He currently serves as director of the National Ramah Tikvah Network of the National Ramah Commission. In this capacity, Howard works with Ramah camps as they include and support campers with disabilities.  Howard has led five Tikvah Ramah Israel trips and served as group leader for three Shorashim Birthright Asperger trips to Israel. 

There is no one better suited to lead the discussion on Jewish Disabilties.  Register today.

“Howard is excited to be leading a Tikvah Ramah Birthright Israel trip from February 13-24.  We are 23 participants, 9 staff, a guide, driver, guard and 4 Israeli peers!”

“Howard and a group of ‘needs knowers” from various Ramah Tikvah Programs shared their experiences with Schechter Manhattan students as they embark on an important inclusion and accessibility project”

Howard is working from his “US Open office” the next few weeks, covering tennis for the Jerusalem Post.
