We are thankfully resuming some normal pre-pandemic activities.  Ramah Professional Conference and “Elevating Our Skills to Support All Staff” 3/6 and 3/7 in White Plains, NY, followed by Faith Inclusion Network  “Reimagining Faith and Disability Inclusion Post-Pandemic” 3/10-11 in Virginia Beach, VA. I am giving two virtual presentations and one in person:

Disability and Theology Track “Ancient Jewish Sources Informing Our Current Disabilities Inclusion Work” with Howard Blas

Congregational and Ministry Track “Filling Your Toolbox: Tips For a Successful Service” with Elizabeth Barnett “Keeping Our Communities Engaged Virtually During and After the Pandemic” with Howard Blas & Maya Albin

 Finally, a Scholar in Residence talk on “Jewish Special Education Today”  at Temple Israel in Norfolk, VA

“The Jewish Disability Inclusion toolkit is a comprehensive resource which brings together not only RespectAbility’s near decade of work on this issue, but the work of key partners including Howard Blas, Gateways: Access to Jewish Education, and Matan,” said Matan Koch, Vice President for Workforce, Leadership and Faith Programs at RespectAbility.

“It is an example of the new paradigm of collaboration sweeping the Jewish disability inclusion community.”  Here is a link to the tool kit:  https://www.respectability.org/jewish-toolkit/#more-30843
